Pros
Light, inexpensive, holds soft plastic bottles very well.
Cons
Won't hold anything other than "traditional" bottles
Review
Bought on clearance at LBS, didn't really need a cage but figured what the hell. Like has been said, really holds soft plastic bottles well, Nalgenes and the like not so much. Still, usually only wanted to hold the plastic bottles anyway!

Pros
Holds soft plastic bottles with ease.
Cons
Didn't hold my hard plastic nalgene bottles, frequently dumped them on the trail after sharp turns or bumpy sections.
Scratched the hard plastic when riding.
Review
Overall a good bottle cage, my issues are more of a personal choice and I upgraded to the new nylon RL cage and haven't had any of the issues listed above.
Pros
It works with all my bottles
Cons
Expensive piece of aluminum for you bottle.
Review
I have three of them and so far so good I will end up buying more if needed
