This thing is totally awsome!!
well, apart from the price ...
I especially like the high gate open strength and the "keylock" gate. Some of my friends mentioned that is hard to clip, but i dont think so. but on the other hand i have never felt a need for bent gates, so you might try how they clip for you before you buy them.

Wile the bent gate variety really sucks (can stay open, gate has really nothing of a spring) but the straight gate version is really a great biner (apart from the weight).
10 kn Gate open are still pretty powerfull, and the handling is good. also the nose is somewaht hooded, wich will reduce the risk of it getting opened.
If you have the money, get some heliums or other light and strong stuff, but if youre on a budget this biner is among the better cheap ones.

might take some time for getting used to, but then its really a nice device to have.
You definitly need to have some knowledge, to be able to use all its advantages, like rappelling, belaying and ascending in the best way.
Not meant to be used as an "hands off"/automatic device!
