It's incredibly aggravating actually. They actually pretty much suck compared to aliens. I only say this after extensively using both.
My experience is the same as Angry's.
So my primary rack is still all (older) Aliens in the small range. When I need a second set of cams, I do sometimes use TCUs. But for certain placements, any dual-axle cam (including BD's 3CU) just aren't optimal.
Also, it's not rocket science to test your cams. I've tested approximately two dozen Aliens with a 3-4 kN fuse.
First time I've posted this footage. Here's a test of a blue Alien:
