Life Expectancy of a Water Softener????

I have an 8-9 year old Avantapure 50K water softener. I'm told the controller has to be replaced (Autotrol 760) which will cost 300.00 plus 75.00 an hour in labor. Before I sink $400+ into repairing this, I want to know if it seems like it would be worth it. What else goes wrong with these things? It has been regularly serviced so I'm pretty disappointed that what I thought was a quality product has to be replaced.

Could anyone give me an idea how long such a system should be expected to last? The sales guy said 10 years... and then he started back pedaling and telling me 20+ years when I said, "seems silly to repair it and I won't be buying a new system from you folks."

Any advise would be appreciated! Thanks much.
