We've got a pair of the v1 SRM450s that we use every week at our church, and they get fairly abused as we throw them in a trailer every week, bounce them round, no problems.
We DID have an issue with them shutting down, and then realised someone had depressed the little timer shutoff switch on the back that kills the power when there's no signal. I wonder if some of these so-called issues were the same? Good sound quality, good reliability, no problems. Ours are on stands, but never get remotely near being hot. Slightly warm, maybe. Realistically, for the original application required, they aren't going to be driven that hard, so I suspect the overheating issue (if it is an issue), won't be an issue. YMMV. Get whichever you like the sound of best and which leaves your wallet feeling happy.

I bought SRM450's right out when they first came and never once had a problem in any condition. The only issue I had was getting Mackie to send a new clamp for stands when one of them stripped out. I don't have them any more - they went the way of most of my gear this past year thanks to extended unemployment.

This may not be a level playing field, but I had a pair of Yorkville PL315 350w speakers, with a rather ambiguous power rating. We decided that their "continuous" meant RMS. They were really loud, clear speakers, certainly better than the ubiquitous Mackies which sounded a bit too much like an over-processed hi-fi to me.
