Starting up this thread again to see what people are interested in grabbing from the Almighty Agent of the Nine.
Here is a good article from Destiny DB on the matter - http://www.destinydb.com/news/posts/123-should-i-buy-it-no-land-beyond-other-exotics
But my take, everyone's got new blue suede shoes to go to the debutante ball with, but like Cinderella, I think I am gonna leave them at the stoop. Exotic Boots overall seem like a waste to use your yellow slot on as they only grant one additional benefit for you super / melee abilities.
Mk. 44 Stand Asides: They sound great for Striker Titans, but the bonus you get to shoulder charge is only 3 extra seconds. Unless you need the Heavy ammo boost - generally better for PvP than PvE - I think I am gonna pass...
Radiant Dance Machines: I was really excited for these, but when I saw them with my Hunter, they did not cover the whole boot area as I expected. They look fairly cool, but I can't justify 13 coins for cool-looking stuff. And I hear the perk for increasing strafing is very unnoticeable in gameplay...
Starfire Protocal: Well, well, well... Seems we have a new Voidfang in our midst. Showing up all over the place with Xur post TDB, generally I like these but its a tough week. Apparently the roll is really bad this week, like 20 less strength, than has been offered in the past by Xur. The strength bit I think is SP's best offering, which is a pretty weak argument for the armor when you think about it. Also, know that the extra fusion grenade does not stack with the sunsinger perk for an extra grenade (i.e., no 3 grenades).
Make sure to get your exotic helmet engrams too! (Cool Story Bro moment - I snagged a Helm of Inmost Light after sharding it several weeks ago for a Suros Regime - Thank you RNGesus!)
Post your thoughts below if you have any advice for other Apostles...

No Land Beyond?! Really?!! Think this is the weakest exotic to be slotted! No good for PvE but ok for PvP, absolute joke this weak........... :'(
