According to the product specialist

Pros
The chain is extremely durable.
The chain is easy to mount with the missing link.
Durable and strong chain.
Runs silently on your Shimano drivetrain.
Has a durable coating against rusting.
This light chain assures a fluent shifting experience.
The chain links are milled out to save the necessary weight.
This is currently the most lightweight, quiet and smoothest shifting chain for your 9 speed Shimano shifting system.
The weight of this chain is relatively low.
Cons
Since this chain is made of harder material, it’s noisier than chains from SRAM, Campagnolo or Shimano.
The chain is relatively heavy.
Only suitable for double and compact chainrings. A triple requires the 6600 chain.
This chain is mounted with a connecting pin, which is not as easy as the missing link on KMC chains.
