This has been my experience as well in my 300D. It was R134A when I bought it, I ended up having to recharge it twice after it leaked out during the course of the winter/fall/spring.

No issues like that with ES12A, so far at least. Its only been a few months since I did the 124. The 201 was earlier this week due to a leaky valve.
