We have had 2 ACES over the past 3 years. Love them both although the 29.2 is much better. We all love it, no problems to speak of, Handles very well, plenty of power, plenty of storage. I compared to a Vista when buying and frankly I wasn't inpressed. THe Vista is stark in comparison to finish, I felt it lacked an real creature comforts, and was waaaay overpriced for what you got. All I ever hear about Winnie is quality et etc. I didn't see it, at least not comparing it to the newer ACE. I talked to a few vista owners at shows who said they were not impressed with the quality and had some issues too although most think they are the best thing since sliced bread. Any brand has problems. My ACES treat me just fine and no qualms about fit finish and their support is superb.
