Not so. If they expected them to fail with three year period, they wouldn't be making any money on the extedned warranty. They make their money by you paying for the warranty and the device outlasting the warranty. It's really a win-win for them... if the device lasts, they get your money and your happy because the device didn't break. If it does break, then your happy because it was fixed and they still get a satisfied customer.
That being said, personally, I never purchase extended warranties (except on automobiles), and I've never had need of one.
As far as recomendations go, I own a 5450 (same form factor as the 5550). If I had it to do over, I would go with the 4150. This form factor ROCKS. Unless you already own sleaves (for the 5550 device), then I would go for the smaller device.
