A Jasper should accept any power brick to this point. Having a brick rated higher is a good thing, not bad.
I think you're doomed to get a refurb Falcon, until the supply runs dry. That's the reason I went out and just bought one. The money you shell out for the coffin is probably enough for them to pay to have some average schmo give you a random refurb Falcon back, and have tech evaluate yours and refurb it or trash it, as needed. Certainly a lot cheaper than having to send you a brand new Jasper, and stock the refurb Falcon away for no purpose.
Only the Xenons/Zephyrs are cruddy enough to warrent chucking them, I think. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that most Falcons RRoD because they are vertical in the user's home (thus covering a large portion of their ventilation area). The Xenons and Zephyrs just died in any position, I think.
