APTC Clutch - Whats the verdict

The APTC Clutch has been fitted to some Ducatis for a while now, I think its fitted to Many of the later Monsters, including 620s, 695s and 800s

Is it as good as they say it is, do those racing a late 620 Monster in Desmo Due rate it or have they junked it.

My S2R 800 has one and i'm still undecided about it, it does give a light clutch action that suits the shorty CRG levers well, I haven't locked the rear on down changes and I'm not sure about the acceleration.
It may be just me but getting the front to lift isn't as easy as I thought it would be on an 800. Saying that the acceleration away from the line on my 996 or 998 with there dry sliiper clutches can be unpredicatable at times.
I do find my self wondering if I should see about swapping the clutch in the S2R for a normal wet plate setup.

I see its available for and used on a range of dirt bikes as well as the Ducatis
