[RE-wrenches] DC-DC converter question

[Sindelar Solar]

Wrenches,
The time has come to upgrade a longtime client's 1985 12V system and 
original Trace 1512 inverter. The inverter still works fine after 32 
years of continuous operation, but 12V is too limited to allow much 
expansion. The power system has numerous 12V loads - mostly lighting 
throughout the home, as the 12V SunFrost fridge will also be replaced, 
so a 24-12 step-down DC-DC converter is part of the upgrade.

Is there any reason that I shouldn't use a Mean Well RSD-300B-12 
(https://www.trcelectronics.com/ecomm/pdf/rsd300.pdf) wouldn't fill the 
bill? I'm familiar with this brand, as they were used for years by Array 
Technologies to step down voltage to run tracker drives, and I have 
never known (or heard of on this list) of a failure. The price is right 
too at a bit over $100.

Any reviews, cautions, or other recommendations?
Thank you,
Allan
