Expensive but good. KMCs are cheaper and also good.
They are wear items and eventually disposable either way. I DO like the Connex Link, which is reusable far more times than the KMC quick link that comes with KMC chains.

The Connex chains come with a Connex Link which is about $25 on its own so if you were thinking of getting one you might as well just buy one of their chains and get both. Might be a good way to give them a try.

Expensive. That's the only deterrent for me. Some tests indicate they're among the most efficient chains.
But I'm a cheapskate. I buy KMC and replace 'em maybe once a year. Good 'nuff for my old school steel bikes with mid-range components.
I might pony up for a good Shimano or WIppermann chain for a bike build I'm slowly working on. With a mix of Ultegra and Dura Ace components it'd be worth trying a better chain.
