Strengths:    Weight, looks, price, ease of adjustment. Good power/modulation.

Weaknesses:    Probably not quite as "cost vs weight" efficient as SRAM Rival

Bottom Line:   
I use these calipers with DA7800 brifters, and overall the performance is very good. The pads work well and are easy to adjust, they are very light and not hugely expensive, they look very nice, and when braking hard they are powerful but controlled. Coming from low end shimano calipers, it is very easy to accidentally lock the rear wheel, but after a couple stops you get used to the extra power and the modulation makes it easy to brake precisely.

Strengths:    Light, work well

Weaknesses:    Questionable material spec.

Bottom Line:   
Been riding these for almost two years. Did a complete bike tear down and found that several pieces of hardware are pretty severely rusted. The Torx headed pivot bolt in the caliper has a pretty good bloom to it and the brake cable fixing washer is completey rotten. Kinda cheesy.
