Anyone tried Macrium Reflect V6 Free? (Supports differential backups now)

Just noticed that Macrium Reflect V6 free edition now supports differential backups. This is a pretty significant upgrade since V5 free did not and could only do full backups each time.

How were your experiences? Anyone tried it on Win 10?

FYI, for those not familiar with differential vs incremental backups: differential backups aren't quite as space-saving or quick as incrementals, but the advantage is you can do a full restore from the base backup + only the most recent differential backup. Compare that to an incremental backup where you need the base file + every subsequent incremental backup in the stack in order to complete a restore.
 
I've been using the v6 free for some months now on win 8.1. It's a great upgrade from version 5. The differential backups are fine and really quick. Now that I backup my OS drive with SSDs, I just do full backups. It's really fast, under 6 minutes.

Another great thing with v6 is you can dual boot at startup. Thus not needing a rescue boot disk.
