I use all ZS here.  I have one of the SCA80s in my Ultra60 and one in my SS20.  I have 50 pin blasters in all the rest (SS10, IPX, etc)

I had a SK for a bit - and had issues with it.  I’ve heard that some of the SK’s have issues with pcb routing/interference/signal quality.  I don’t have hard data on that.  But the behaviors I saw would definitely fit that profile.

No issues with the ZS line.  I know you are asking about the SCA80/wide model - but if you need 50pin at any time - I’d make sure to get a blaster as it’s much newer/faster chips.  The 1.1/1.2 ZS are a bit long in the tooth and I no longer use them.
