sorry for the cruddy pic, I'm planning to take several quality ones tonight.
Like you said, they are well regarded. For me, they are easily the prettiest derailleurs that I have held in my hand. The finish is amazing and the body is compact and clever. They make the high end Shimanos of the era look gigantic and shapeless. I even think it's prettier than the Campy NR derailleurs I have.
