I used to lust after them back in the early 1990s. Never bought one though.
If memory serves they had lots of problems with frames cracking, presumably due to aluminium being in it's infancy in bike usage then. However, I'd guess the cromoly, i.e. steel. version would be far less likely to suffer from this.
