Granted, the Schmidt cost more than twice what an SP would have, but the pain is already gone from that.
I also have a SON SL since mid last year on my commuter/travel bike and having not to fiddle with the crimp connectors is a big plus for me. Not to mention the looks of not having a cable run up the fork. 4000km on the bike without a single issue.
I have an old SON on my winter/cx bike, also with no issues and about 7 yrs old with countless miles.. also no issues.
My wife and daughter sport each a SP dynamo, they also have no issue with those, but their mileage is maybe a 1/10 of what I ride, so not really a comparison of durability possible.
