Advice on upgrading K56Flex modem

[Felix Karpfen]

I currently own a Maestro K56Flex modem, that has served me faithfully
and long.  It was my understanding that the main benefit of the more
recent V90 modems is that they handle uploads at greater speeds - a
non-issue on my box.

However, I have recently been advised that an upgrade would be wise
because V90 modems are intrinsically more stable.  

Is this the case?  And if so, do I stick with the local supplier or is
there something to be gained from looking further afield?
