On this years Ario Caves project expedition at least 5 people have had the webbing fail on their Petzl Pantin in the same place on the jammer brackets. Most of these jammers were bought new for the expedition. The new style of Pantin has much thinner webbing then the old style and does not seem to be up to the job furthermore because the webbing is so thin it is very hard to repair effectively. I would strongly advise against purchasing a new pantin you will get approximately 1500 - 2000m of ascent before failure.
