Disadvantages
This is what other customers say:
Performs great on vertical and slab routes, very stable and powerful.
Usable on some boulders but I wouldn't use these on steep/overhanging climbs.

The shoe is amazing, nice design, very sturdy and robust climbing shoe. Ideal for narrow or normal foot width but again with great adjustability due to the laces. The heel is not as aggressive as i wanted it to be (old 5.10 anasazi style was the best), but still secures the foot and i am 100% satisfied.
XS Grip does the job well, much better than XS Grip 2 and i do not care what Vibram promotes :)
It has a good grip and you can stand even in the smaller edge without issue. Tried only in limestone.
Now, beware of sizing recommendations. I wear 46 EU in sneakers (Stansmith etc.) everywhere it says to not downsize. I disagree completely. I bought the 44.5 EU and they are ideal for this type of shoe, confy for multi-pitches but snuggy for technical moves too. If the shoe was little bit more agressive i would prefer to even go down to 44 EU. If i was listening to the websites and the majority of online reviews i would have bought a nice pair of fins for spearfishing. So be cautious about the size.
