Strengths:    There are no weaknesses to the hub.

Weaknesses:    Except for the fact that you need to use Saint specific Rotors. But even at that shimanos center-lock system is a gift from the gods. Also the only Issue I could see is that I looks like you need some special tools to take it apart. This hub is great.

Bottom Line:   
Good hub. buy it. Don't worry about buying new rotor for the centerloch system. You'll be treating youself right is you do.

Strengths:    super stiff and strong. not too pricey either. a quality peice of machinery.

Weaknesses:    must be used with saint brakes

Bottom Line:   
This is a sweet front hub. It is Shimano so you know it's quality and it is beefed up to handle the rigors of the DH and FR crowd it is made for. I was building a new bike up so I didn't mind getting all the new saint components but it would be a pain to have to buy all the saint stuff to stay compatible if I only needed a hub. But I say go for it and get all saint series. You will love yourself for doing so even though your wife or girlfriend might not.
