Has anyone used "DynaBeads" to balance tires as you ride? If you have, what do you think?

 
I've used DynaBeads before, they perform as advertised, both the good points and the bad. By bad I mean you do notice more instability in the handling at very low speed maneuvers. I also know people who successfully use DynaBeads exclusively to balance their tires, i.e. no balancing weights.

 
I'm using them now, and have been happy w/them. Have about 8000 miles with them, and the tires seem as smooth running as any I've had.

 
I used them with MANY sets of tires, but now I balance. The reason is not because of erratic slow speed handling, but because of strange high speed oscillations that I only notice while riding above 80mph for extended periods of time. Plus, weights are cheaper. The way I go throught tires, the balancer will pay for itself quickly.
