Shimano EP801 reliability?

Does anyone on here have first hand experience of the EP801 motor? My previous (bad) experience of the EP8 has put me off Shimano motors, but the mechanic at the LBS was saying that Shimano have improved the seals and reduced the gear noise a bit on the 801. He also mentioned that they’ve improved their system for warranty problems to reduce the long delays. I’m just wondering if this has made a real world difference?

I’ve got the EP6RS, is that an EP601 i think… it’s deffo quieter than my previous Rise which is EP8RS. It’s still a little noisy on certain descents but again, quieter than the previous generation.
