The only B&W slide film. Say no more:)
Can be pushed to 1600

Cost and development lab availability. Though I live in Manhattan and there is a lab right here (Duggal).

I personally don't find the film contrasty as other had commented at ISO200. Great film to use if you are into B&W and don't want the trouble of trying to get a good print! Try it out at least once even if it isn't your normal cup of tea:)

Unique product. Saves you from do-it-yourself B&W darkroom perils, and from the inconsistencies of labs. "Edgy" results, as a previous reviewer pointed out. Slide film. Pushable +3 stops and pullable -1 stop. Consistent speeds, and easy to get consistent results.

Lack of multiple processing locations. Tonal range somewhat short. Expensive.

This film is a niche product. As a previous reviewer said, do try it. I shoot portraits, and I find that by pushing it +2 (rating it at 800 ASA), I get a deep, dark, edgy quality. At 800 ASA, there is significant grain but this only adds to the look. A&I can do a similar process with any B&W film (.dr5 process), and you might try that too. I feel that in these days of inconsistent black and white processing, its good to have a film that yields consistent results.
