E-Z cap bottles

Hey Guys,

I'm real tired of bottling my beers with a capper so I decided to buy some 16oz e-z cap bottles and some 1 pint e-z cap bottles. My question is pretty simple and may be kind of ridiculous, but do the seals on these bottles work for a long period of time (say 6 months), lets say compares to bottling 12 oz bottles with CO-absorbing caps.

I have been using 16oz EZ cap bottles for over 6 months now and I would easily believe the gaskets to last a year or more. I still keg most of my brews but I like to bottle certain brews and the EZ caps are hard to beat. Even when the gaskets go bad my LHBS has them for 0.10 each, I get a whole bag of 25 for $2.50.
