I'm gonna answer my own question for those of you who may be concerned about this too, and b/c I just had the time to search thoroughly.
It seems, that plenty of CEG'ers are using Bosch Platinum +4's and I didn't read many complaints, in fact not one. So what ever this fabled Hightower incident was I'm going to assume that it's not a common problem...and that I should be ok if I go ahead and use 'em. So in they go.
