My buddy tried it out and did not like it.

Having no frame, he considered them "crappy" at higher speeds.

I've got them. They're really no different than stock or any other replacement.

The whole reflex wiper blade deal has nothing to do with better performance per se. A lot of new cars i.e. luxury such as the Acura's are coming with this new style of blade. The biggest advantage they claim is wind noise reduction because the framing of typical wipers is no longer necessary. Other than that nothing new about them.
