We we came down pretty hard on QRs didn't we.
If you don't need the high security setup then they are probably a better option. For touring, leisure riding, training and racing and when you can store your bike securely then the advantages are several:
fewer tools
lighter weight
quicker release
Better resistance to axle breakage
As I have moved to commute in a less crime-infested area, QRs have crept back ont my everyday bike on the hubs but not on the seatpost.
