I've been using one for a couple of months I replaced a Ramps board and I have to say I find it much much better, I can print quicker the heated bed is quicker at getting up to temp and the network interface is very handy also setting the Currnet for the motors in firmware is a very good idea indeed.
I may be the odd one out here. Dumped my Smoothieboard and went to a DuetWiFi.
As others have said if you use Simplify3D forget it!
They have supposedly been working on a more modern smoothie for well over a year. You may want to look at the blog relating to that. It hasn't been updated in about a year, so it doesn't give one any idea on the progress of a newer board with better stepper drivers, better processor, and support for more stepper motors or heaters. The documentation on the current one is very good but I consider the board past it's prime.
