I just read this from Dr. Zeegers website and will have to ask him for further clarification, however, I wonder if anyone here already knows why Zeegers prefers the L Activ over the M6. Is it a fiscal decision, I doubt it, but you never know. Here's Dr. Zeegers quote below.

Nowadays he is using of one of the best implant on the market, the Activ L Lumbar Artificial Disc. Rarely I am using M6-L artificial disc replacement in the lumbar area.

So then... what gives?
I like the facet protection of the M 6, however, I too am wary of the complexity of the device. I have no problem with polymers themselves, the actual substance. Its very hardy stuff. If anyone doubts that look up 'Glock 26 torture test' online. Polymers have been in handguns for years with fantastic success and they are durable.
