Ya, I'm not too worried about the actuators. If they fail I just get a new one installed. There wouldn't be any down time and they would take 10 minutes to swap out. Plus, vacuum systems dont allow partially open/closed operation.. they are all on or all off. Additionally I'm not too keen on running a vacuum line from my engine - seems like a warranty breaker there.
