They've worked great for over a year now. I'm not fond of sram cranks and their limited range, so I've used Campy 48/32 and shimano grx cranks that are offered in 48/31 and 46/30. The need for smaller chain rings does limit your crank choices.

Battery life with axs is good. Having easily removable batteries means you can carry a spare and never have to worry about having a dead system out on the road. I recharge mine every couple of weeks..

IMO, red axs offers nothing but a little lower weight for a lot more money. Same goes for shimano DA.
