Voltage Regulator replacement

Has anyone replaced their Delco Remy voltage regulator (the old
mechanical type for a 50 amp generator) with a new solid state
type by Zeftronics? CHief aircraft sells them, just wondering
what anyone's experience was.
Mine is old, acting up and charging too high. In the old days I
guess you could clean the contacts and so forth but I'd rather just
replace it.
I would keep what you currently have installed and have an A&P reset
the voltage back to where it belongs. Resetting the voltages is a
simple task with a voltmeter. The old style last forever and changing
to a new style will require some FAA paperwork. The A&P will be worth
the cost.
