I picked these up in late 2019, and had a chance to use them on early season thin/mixed routes and later on in Dec. and into 2020, around mid-March before everything shut down. 
Out of the gate, these things have a really nice swing for such a 'technical' tool and angle. I used them on everything from lower angle mixed scratching, WI5, WI4 and flowing, plastic ice on easier WI3 routes. Some of my climbing partners switch out from the aggressive angled tools to more 'all mountain' style tools when the routes get easier, but I found even on less than vertical or flowy routes, the X-Dreams worked well. I liked the fact that I could still swing away on the easy stuff, and then keep on trucking when things got steep, thin or both. 

They really shine on mushroomed blobs, steep pillars and the like, and the pick is wicked sharp. Another bonus is the picks resharpen easily. If I had to do it over, I think I would have gotten the Alpine X-Dreams, just to have a bit more of a one tool quiver for alpine stuff (N. Face of Athabasca, etc.) that you could still use on classic waterfall ice. 

Overall, these things checked all the boxes for the type of climbing I do. I am no Will Gadd, but enjoy trying as many kinds of ice/alpine/mixed climbing as my abilty and tolerance for fear with take. 

4 out of 5 stars. Get a pair.
