I love mine, and I'm 5'8" 150 lb. Mine are mounted with Fritschis. However, it's a very heavy rig for touring.

And far more suitable for touring as they're featherweight. And that leads to my only (and I mean only) complaint about them: when snow is cut-up crud, rather than untracked powder, skier-packed moguls or groomer corduroy, they're so light that they easily get tossed around. They're not unmanageable in cut-up crud, mind you, but in those conditions I'd rather have the plow-through-anything characteristics that those mammoth Goliaths offer.
FWIW, Tramdock.com had some amazing deals on Reverends earlier this season, something like $275. I don't know if they have any left or not.
