Once I'd worked out how they do what they do, and how to rebuild them, they're unfailingly strong, stiff and self-centering. also, I think they look cool & old school sciency with the little ball joint housing in the casting, and the aero versions (with canted arms) can be really useful when your cabling is coming in at odd angles. (eg. rear brakes on some mixtes)
