Default Baker Compensator Reviews

Ok, now that the Baker Compensator has been out a bit what is everyone's opinion?
What were your issues and did it help?
I have only seen spotty reviews here and there.

I haven't read any bad reviews at all. In fact the only ones I've seen are grateful that someone put a product out there that is engineered to work and doesn't involve plastic trays, glue and suspect components.

We are not looking for bad reviews or good reviews
We want to hear all reviews, as we have not heard many reviews.

I am sure many of us on this site are contemplating making this fairly significant expenditure and a n y information at all will help in making this decision about dropping any where from $400 and up on this vital component.

+1, I ended up having to use the SE Comp last winter because the release date was too far out for me. Hated it, hate the one that is in my '15 Roadie. If the Baker is all that it is cracked up to be then lets hear it!

I think the biggest benefit would be longevity, and since it hasnt been out for very long, we wont really have a verdict for a year or two - or more.
