Is it yet another "standard" to boost sales?

More importantly, before I finish speccing an ASR5C, are they as quick/quicker than a standard 9mm QR to change/remove a rear wheel?

If you've ever wrestled a heavy DH wheel against rear mech tension, disc/caliper alignment, and a bike that's trying it's best to fall over whilst you're trying your best to slide the axle through, then anything that helps to guide the wheel into the frame has to be a good thing.It took a long time for all the fork/hub manufacturers to come to this conclusion and sort it out, i'm surprised it hasn't happened sooner at the rear.

It's amazing and soon enough all FS bikes will use it, it just makes sense.
