"Great shoe from Brooks. I'm finding that I can be just as comfortable with a lighter-weight shoe though."Tyrell
Fit
Fit is, of course, very personal for shoes. I found them to be a little loose around the mid-section of my foot but not enough to warrant a problem.
Comfort
Very comfy for long runs though they did tend to get a bit heavy during long ans sweaty runs. They seemed to absorb a bit of water, making them heavier the more I sweat. They were already ~12.x oz each dry and probably almost a pound each by the time I was done with a long run in hot weather.
Durability
I expect to get ~350 miles from a running shoe before my knees indicate they are worn out. I ran in both pairs for ~330 miles before they were worn out for running. The shoes were still in perfectly good condition for wearing around as a casual shoe though.
Value
Top of the line Neutral shoe from Brooks so you're paying top dollar for these. I'm finding similar performance from the Ghost 2 at a slightly lower price point and less weight.
Appearance
They looked fine to me. I had a white/yellow pair and a green/silver pair. Not too flashy.
Customer Service
No CS issues.
Performance
Good performing shoe but a little on the heavy side.
Strengths
Comfort, durability, not too flashy
Weakness
Weight, sweat sponge

Quality of Construction
These shoes held up very well for nearly 350 miles until my knees gave me the warning signs that I needed to buy a new pair. I've worn out 2 pairs of these and they've always given me a very smooth ride. I still wear them for walking around as they are still very serviceable.
