The advantages are
(1) no Robin Hoods
(2) maintain their 90-degree shape
(3) rarely come off the dart
(4) extremely durable*
*The important thing to know is that you can't have a lip at the point / barrel junction. If you do then expect to destroy them quickly while also getting horrible deflections. I burned through a few sets before I figured this out then finally switched to storm points, although you can probably get by with trident cones. Now I won't consider using non-molded flights. Here's how my current set of L-Style EZ look after two months of daily throwing:
I think the jury is still out on whether the newer integrated flight / stem systems actually allow for tighter groupings. They're
designed to do that with the flexible and grooved shaft, but I haven't seen any convincing evidence yet. That said, it's simple in the sense that it's one piece you screw into the back of the dart and you're done. Condor Axe will set you back 15 to 20 quid however. Target K-Flex and Winmau Fusion about half that if you can find them in stock.
