I hear of very few issues with the QX-5, so I may just have bad luck.

Yes, I haven't heard of many QC issues with the QX-5 either, so it may simply be the normal electronics bell curve of failures being more likely at the beginning and end of a component's life.
The "Twenty" badge is a confusing issue; certainly ones I've borrowed previously have had it, as did the one I just re-auditioned, and past photos show it:
Ayre indicates it
should be there, yet the image prominently featured on their web site's product page for the QX-5 does
not have one:
