I saw one cheap otherwise would never pay what they are asking. Its hard for me to judge its value. Would be good for indoor leads where there is very straight lines and little drag. It would be fine on a multi directional or upward peice built in , it doesnt require so much upward force as you might expect due to weight of unit. Id say wait a year and every other manufacturer will have some equivalent and prices should come down with qaulity. Downside of using it on trad is harder catches so I personally wouldnt if the gear was small etc... , the main thing I noticed was when I was being lowered usually belayer is hardly touching ground and really does struggle with the lever on grigri , now she is planted and lowering me just as if I weighed the same as all the other people around. It makes me feel slimmer and that goes a long way toward repairing my self esteem.
