Anyone use Go Pro Warrior Pots? Interested

With only 2 weeks until harvest, I'm drawing up my next grow plans. I'm planning on running 6 regular seeds with the need for only 2-3 females. Air pruning is great and all, but it got me thinking about the PWT and beyond that the fabric pots seem to dry out really fast which isn't good for the Pro Mix BX I run. I suppose I could just run 3 gal plastic pots, but I figure the warrior pots are an improvement over basic pots as you get a ton of o2 to the parts that need it most, as well as raising the PWT. I know it has less volume, but honestly I could grow in 1 gal pots and still be fine with the short veg time I'm running. Also wouldn't warrior pots avoid the "umbrella effect?"

Do you have any experience with warrior pots? Fabric pots are featured extensively on here, but warrior pots are something I just happened to see a well known user with and it got me intrigued. What are the downsides? Will I run into root spiraling issues without the air pruning? Is this an improvement over the generic plastic pots or is it just a gimmick? Surely not as people have been growing in plastic pots for decades...

I have about fifty of the five gallon
No problems other than more frequent watering due to all the aeration
Roots don’t wrap either
Maybe to many holes for coco

Thanks for the input. Would you say they dry out quicker than a fabric pot of a similar size? I typically have to water fabric pots every 3 days. I may even just try regular plastic pots to slow down the drying a bit. I know big pots could help with the drying as well but I'm not vegging long, I only have a 2x4 tent, and I'm also starting with 6 seeds which is a ton of space for even 6 5 gal pots. Plus warrior pots are thinner and taller which is an improvement IMO. Part of me just wants to run regular plastic pots but I'm worried about transitioning from fabric pots to something that doesn't aerate or drain nearly as well. Warrior pot seems like a middle ground where the roots can expand to the sides like plastic but they still get the o2 exchange of fabric from the cone underneath. Surprised I don't ever see them mentioned on here except from like 6 years ago. :-|
