Anyone used the NWAlpine pins?

Anyone used the Ti pins NWAlpine has on their website?

I ended up with a pair like them, and was just wondering if anyone has used them in anger, and what they thought?

I havent pounded it enough to comment on the longevity but I've been bashing a number of Ti blades and wedges from a Japanese company the last couple of years that seem to be holding up okay. My experience with pins is (at least for alpine climbers) often you leave them when bailing well before the pin is worn out.
