I don't think Apple is testing older machines with the kind of effort they used to. We used to test sleep-wake cycles into the thousands and even one failure was not acceptable. This machine very often will not come out of sleep properly. Closer to 1 in 10 than 1 in 5000.
I've got a 2011 MBP, I also use it in clamshell mode with my thunderbolt display all the time. After upgrading to 10.8, the thunderbolt display refuses to wake up from sleep. I've been trying to work with Apple for 3 months now without any progress. They've swapped monitors, had me format, clear every bit of ram, and still... pretty much 95% of the time waking from sleep the thunderbolt display is a $1000 paperweight.
