I don't have any experiences myself, but I did read something that should be a caveat for you if you want to buy one used. Check out this website:

The links for the bike reviews are on the left hand side. Basically, Tom Demerly says that the '02 Blades have quite a few design problems. However, the '05 models are greatly improved.
Hope that helps

Yeah, everyone seems to agree you need an blade 05 or later. Earlier models had room for improvement.
