Anybody out there care to comment on how well ZSuite 0.9 and the new features work?
Our Internet service at home is down so I won't be able to try it out for a couple days until repairs are made.

I noticed something strange. In ZSuite 0.8 time was shorter around 2h ;/
Z Suite v0.8: (Time: 2h58m ; Filament: 40g)
Z Suite v0.9: (Time: 5h 11m; Filament 41g)
Same here, time increases.
if we get rid of ghosting, i will gladly pay the price in time ;-)
Yes can confirm that the reported time is longer for the same part. However that doesn't mean it is actually longer. Perhaps 0.0.8 was reporting a premature finish time and 0.0.9 is more accurate. Really need to actually time the prints to see if there is a difference.
Another difference, there are now 2 outside "skins/perimeters". This should improve the surface finish on concave and convex objects, as well as make a stronger part.
Maybe "full" is almost full infill now...It also looks as if finish pass on top layer of flat surfaces is finer...
I haven't tried a high infill setting yet, just been concentrating on the surface finish. I'm printing parts in black for worse case scenario. So far I am impressed.
Now I think I count 3 perimeters, changing from slow (outside), medium (middle) fast (inside), can you or anyone else confirm this?
Also tried the random seam feature, but as I suspected it leaves very small dots on the face of the model. Might be good for some models, but I rather a single seam hidden in a corner. And it looks like the single seam is much improved anyway.
I'm running a test now and will check if time increase takes in consideration preheat of table and other factors.
I just tried with a solid infill and before the same part that took 3h43m now took 6h1m, it takes way longer! The quality is a little better but honestly too much time sacrifice for the improvement in quality.

For parts with alot off details z-suite 0.0.9 is a huge improvment. Have you tried high speed mode?
I find high speed mode is about the equivalent to normal in 0.0.7. I'll have to do some testing to see if there is a noticeable quality difference between normal and high speed in 0.0.9. I suspect there isn't.
Maybe they could change normal to slow, high speed to normal and add a new faster speed called high speed.
how about a mirror function for V1?
