I've used this cymbal in two contest : a metal band where it was used as a crash-ride, and a post-rock/ambient band where I play softer. I'm not a heavy hitter but the cymbal seems solid.
I love its overtones and sensitivity - wherever you play it it always sounds warm and defined. The only caveat I'd say, is that it's not really a cutting cymbal. Although it has plenty of power, I wouldn't recommend it for classic metal drummers playing along a dense mix of distorted guitars.
The price is unbelievable for this quality.
