Xtar VP2 alternative?

I'll be interested to see suggestions. The pair of VP2s that handle the bulk of my day to day charging needs can't last forever, and I can't say I've seen what I consider a proper replacement. Things such as manually selected low CC charging levels for small cells and LFP compatibility are mandatory for me. A brand I'd heard of before last year (edit: one with a good track record / reputation) would be nice too.
EDIT: I should also mention that I'm not interested in something USB-powered. I prefer 12V to 5V when practical.

Thanx for the reminder. I was aware that they weren't completely extinct (yet) and a few were still in the pipeline for sale, and your note prompted me to get off my rear and order one while I can. I'm not in the habit of reinventing perfectly good wheels without a good reason, and this is a good case for that. Ordered. Now I'll have N+1, so I'll sleep better

There are a few NOS (new old stock) items in the newer packaging, for not a lot, over on Ebay.
I was probably one of the first here to get my VP2, but it was soon recalled due to a plastic formula that could become brittle in colder temps.
They sent me a new one, but it was a few weeks.
I love it so much, I bought two of the fresher models and put them away.
Although I mostly use my Opus BT-3400s (v. 2.2/v. 3.1) now, I think the VP2 is a stellar, albeit 2 bay, charger.
