Making something that is robust enough to survive the kind of punishment we put our toys through is not an easy task. Supporting product lines costs money and although they cost you a lot of money, supporting them forever will eventually sink a business. I know Aerotech's are renowned for being a tad unreliable (at least their older gear), but it's cost them a lot of cash to replace them.
I spoke to the guys behind 'techs and they said that one of their biggest problems was that people would send stuff back to them which looked like it had been through a trash-compactor. Whether that was down to excessive abuse or poor design / materials is anyone's guess though...
Aerotech are just about to bring out the new ultimate balls so it makes sense that they would stop supporting the older products. Personally, I think the answer is to suggest fixing them regardless for a year or two and beyond that, repairs would be done at cost price or something. That way older products are still supported for those people who are willing to pay a little.

Woah... £200-£250? When I spoke to them a few months back they were aiming for £100-£150 with a tap sensor for starting the routine. So basically I'm looking at £1000 to perform my ball routine + a charger + taking my laptop wherever I'm performing (middle of a field in the drizzle?) + maybe a spare or 2 for when they break. Ouch
