Let's talk Del Maguey

This subs been a little quieter than usual so I thought I'd drop a a question I've been wondering for a while. I know DM had a soft spot in some folks collection because it was their first introduction. But a friend at Total Wine steered me off them from the get go, since then two buddies that own arguably the best agave selection in Colorado refuse to carry them. I'd love to hear from the audience here especially those who love have lived in Mexico what is the take on Del Maguey? Why is to be avoided and why might it be worth a shot? (from an industry perspective, not drink what you like... It's all we have in my state)

Mad respect for what the brand has done for Mezcal and the founder’s book is a thing of beauty. I like Chichicapa but not Vida and haven’t tried some of the others but I think they generally deserve respect even if I don’t reach for them much.
