So long black diamond. Lighter and just as strong with a larger expansion range. plus they look cooler.
I have the full set, and can honestly say as a product on the whole, they are at the very least equivalent to the camelots in form and function. The reasons above seal the deal for me.

I love my Z6 and Z5. You can pretty much stick them anywhere and have a good placement. More flexible than anything out there, but you can still clean them with ease. No negatives imho. The z3 and z4 have smaller width heads than the equivalent aliens, enhancing their placement values.
Update:
I fell on my Z5, about a 10 footer with maybe 35 feet of rope out in solid granite. It was a good placement, and held perfect. Lobes haven't deformed at all. Bodes well for their durability. Will be picking up the 3 and 4 in the near future

This is a great shoe, edges well, hooks well, smears well.. the only problem is the cord in the heel makes them tough to get used to. If the cord wasn't there, they'd get a 5.
