Hopefully I can hold out for awhile and the market will respond positively to new devices.
Activ-L has been on the market in Europe for several years, as has the M-6L.

I don't know if traveling to Europe is an option for you, but you may want to consider it.

Whatever you do, I suggest reading plenty of that device (and surgeon's!) patient stories to get a good feel for both good and bad outcomes. Give yourself plenty of time to let the information "sink in." You'll eventually find the "right" answer for you.
