Well, my Lc. Loog Tone 'African Beauty' went last year belly up. But, since the blooms on that one are so short lived, I was not crying too much.
The Renanetia is a small plant, about the size of a Darwinara. I bought it here:

A word of caution - at the vendor the plant was allowed to grow crooked, there is a 90 degree angle between main plant and keiki - and the leaves were salt encrusted ( the older leaves still are). I had bought an Aerides houlletiana along with this one and they were packed really badly, the roots on the Aerides had broken off in transit.
Having said that, the Renanetia arrived in spike, it is growing out clean and proves to be an easy bloomer. I suppose, if I really wanted a plant which I only could get from them, I would take a chance.
