I have and USE the Deep VII. I had the Deep VII split about 30' into the line. There was coating and core . Like you they replaced it but I was without for a few weeks.
This year I had my Mainstream Type III do the same thing. I sent it back and they sent me a sink tip. I called and explained it was a full sink. She said keep it and they would send the right one. But, they then sent a floating. Again I called and gave her the on line # for the line. 4 days later I finally got the line.
Nothing like it unfortunately as they do seem to have a longevity problem. I am still using my Orvis sinking lines after 5 years and still good.
Another choice is Depth Charge. I use a 300 grain on my 6 wt although it is more for 8/9. It is 30 feet of sink into 70 feet of Intermediate. Plus two colors so nice when wanting to fish at a certain depth.
