Replace a 9-year old SpacePak LAHP2 AWHP with another SpacePak or a Mitsubishi Ecodan?

When it was working, the system delivered lovely hydronic radiant heat to 6 zones of our 2,000 sq ft single story home in Maine. Replaced the compressor at 5 years and the unit failed again on Christmas Day. Now leary of the ROI of SpacePak (though I see they are now advertising “reliable Toshiba condensers”). Would you consider an Ecodan vs SpacePak?

    compressions don’t fail they’re murdered!

    what was the cause of failure? What corrective action was taken?

    Homeowner here, so limited technical knowledge. SpacePak required our tech to test many things before they honored the warranty on the 5 year old compressor. This time at 9 years, no warranty, discontinued Solstice Extreme model, few parts available—so I don’t know if we’ll get into a deep diagnostic.

    My question is identifying the best replacement option.
