Fantastic device. I haven't been able to use all it's features quite yet, but its awesome if you need to do some rescue work for your 2nd climber and you are belaying from the top.

I use this for jumaring and locking off to take photos of climbers. I also use this for belaying top rope, because it's easy to use after a climb if you are pumped. Feels very solid, I love it.

I have the auto-locking one and the normal one, they are good if you want a large biner. A bit on the heavier side, so I would prefer the BD Mini Pearabiner over this.

Nice light mid-large locker. Round rope bearing surface doesn't kink the rope while using a munter hitch for belays. 68 grams is very nice for a mid-large locker too.

This is my first set of draws, and I love them. I do agree that the straight gate biner does flip a bit, but its nothing that bugs me. All you have to do is flip them to the correct way before you throw them on your gear loops.
