Great sensitivity with these shoes. This has allowed me to climb very well even on slab and vertical wall where standing on small footholds its critical, due to the ability to feel the hold confidently underfoot.
Of course this shoe definitely excels on the steep stuff, especially roofs, with lots of toehooks.
The only downside in my opinion, is that if you size tight - which is the best way to maximize the potential of the shoe - your foot will try its best to bust out, meaning with a few rough scum jobs and the odd drag of the tip of the shoe on the wall, you may even up with your big toe making a surprise visit.
Overall, if money was no object, I would probably never bother with another shoe for all round climbing, a clean 8/10 on everything I've tested them on. Cant complain too much really ^_^

Really good shoe, after trying 4 different material (only this one was scarpa), this shoe proved to have the best grip overall. It is very soft, which is also a disadvantage, because the wall just eats it up.
Only buy it, if your stepping is accurate, otherwise it will have holes on it very fast.
