Does anyone have an opinion or experience with the MK Revolution series blades?

I skate on MK profs and have most of my skating life. This last time I needed new blades I considered the Mk professional revolution to which both my fitter and coach said they are not worth the price difference. That being said there are two girls in my club with them. However neither have been vocal on the difffrence being large and honestly I have not seen much of a difference in their skating since they got them

I got this email from a dealer in NYC:

"John -

All of the MK and Wilson blades are all made from carbon steel, not stainless.
Both blades are good, the Revolution would be lighter and are designed to give
the skater who's jumping a softer landing over a solid heel post. MK also
gives you six weeks to skate on the blades and if you don't like them they
will exchange them for the Standard MK blades.

FYI, My coach wants me to get the pattern 99 blades. She feels they are the best all around blades for jumps, spins, and turns.
