How much have you actually benefitted from Xur and his gear?

[quote]There seems to be [i]a lot[/i] of people on either side of the fence, in [b]my own opinion[/b]; his weaponry and armour tends to be [i]pretty good[/i], not amazing... But still high up in the defence out of my entire equipped gear. Whereas his [i]engrams[/i] usually turn up [i]low defence[/i] weapons for me, and his materials and other miscellaneous items aren't too crash hot... But the fact that you only need [b]strange coin[/b]s for most things and only a few need a mixture of items is refreshing ... What are your thoughts?[/quote]
