I was about to buy a set of Grivel G12 when I found these on sale (3 years ago) at REI-Outlet, including the anti-balling plates. So far, I've only used them on 3 climbs of Shasta (Avy Gulch). I like the combination of straps on the toe and a bail for the heel, similar the the Grivel Newmatic system. They easily fit a variety of boots including my La Sportiva Trango Plus.
The anti-balling plates worked pefectly. When everyone else in my group was packing their crampons full of snow every 10 or so steps, I never had even a hint problems.
I have not tried these on steep ice, but for moderate snow/ice they work great.

I used these crampons on glacier work in La Mer de Glace in Chamonix, France, as well as on my ascent of Mont Blanc du Tacul on 13 September 2002. These are rapid fit and overall worked great. There were a few places in lose snow where I would still slide, but for general mountaineering, they were fine. I used a rental pair of these for glacier work and for several meters, they were still great, but they are not meant for acending ice walls. For general mountaineering, I would recommend them with the anti-snow "rubber" plates. I never had a snow accumilation problem in my rentals or my own set.

Exceent crampon. I have experienced no problem with these. They go on easily and while the front point strap can be fiddily in the cold at altitude it hold well. Easily adjusted to your boot these are a very solid investment. I don’t bother with the anti-balling plates.

This is a peace of gear that I rely on both for snow and glacier travel. Worked well on the couloirs up to 40 degree steep. I usually the snowball plates which appear to be useful for spring climbing in Sierra when you are coming back in the middle of the hot sunny day. This is first pair of crampons and I have been using them for ~4 years.

I also agree with the anti-bolling plates. I've been walking with no problem while others are wacking their boots every step.
The crampons have worked great and they are my all purpose crampon. Including water ice up to WI4.
