I use them, and have one at my house.
The biggest issue I have with M2 is that people mess up getting to the reset of the AGS mode.
With the M3 that is a separate button which is a big improvement.
And that you can reprogram it via SD card is a big improvement.
Try that with a XW!
Overall its easier in some ways, more complicated in others.
