I personally like a lot. It seems easier to realigned to a target if the first shot is off. It does get a little tougher lining up with the feeder station but after a batteries worth of driving and trying different possible ways to pull up to the feeder station I finally got it figured out. I haven't found any big issue besides the feeder station one yet. So no big complaints.
