Question, has anyone used them? If so, did you feel they're worth the expense?
For reference, I'm happy with the Grover tuning machines installed in my Martin and W-strat, don't like the crap machines installed on a (not inexpensive) stock Strat, and hated the sticky ones on an older Ovation I used to have)
I think for my soloist build, if I don't go with ratio, I can spend the same money on Waverly tuning machines, and get something better made than Grover.
Obviously the e & D strings take a lot of spins to adjust, while E can be a little touchy to dial in, a minor mechanical reality evened out with a smart design idea. ... then it also makes that axe different from all the others.
