Only chain failure I have had in over 30 years of riding was my own fault for running it until it broke instead of replacing the worn chain, and I have NEVER had anything but standard chains until now. So don't be so quick to call a regular chain junk. If they are lubed and maintained they last as long as an X ring, maybe longer. I have over 15,000 miles on my stock chain now and have totally abused it. I think I lubed it maybe 3 times and never clean it. I am too used to the breather on my antiques blowing oil onto it for me.
EDIT: That is not saying all regular chains are equal, some are junk.
