I somehow doubt a 11SX would last 15,000+ miles under even the best conditions.
Connex chains are all I use, 11SX and 11SB, outstanding chains. You can typically find them for under $50. The best thing about them is the ability to remove the quick link by hand without having to replace it due to its design. The ability to do so makes maintenance and cleaning very quick, thorough and grit free. I wipe down and clean my bike after every ride (30 minutes is all it takes to include re-lube). I keep my bike looking like this always. 11SB shown below.
