I know a guy who was on his 9th Tarmac and 3rd or 4th Transition (having paid for one of each) last I talked to him. Which was a while ago so I expect double digits on Tarmacs now. He lives not far from Specialized office and a major store so had a frame replaced in a day once. I couldn't deal with worrying that a frame would fail on me every couple of months, but he liked getting something new frequently. Shivs (Tri and TT) often come to me for fits and have seatpost bolts pulling out, Specialized very good at replacing those too (I'm not a dealer so the client goes to LBS).
Wilier have a lot of issues here too, but handle it well.
