i've got one (you just knew i would) - i use it pretty infrequently as my local pool told me i wasn't allowed (oddly, a slightly less local pool sadi it was fine, same operator, go figure), but my coach likes them and often sets 300-400 using snorkels, fins and paddles, concentrating on catch and body rotation while keeping your head still. i've never tried to tumble turn while wearing it, but in theory it is possible.
i don't mind using it, and once i've settled into a set with it on i can usually give a bit more attention to rotation and catch. i'll be honest, for catch i find single arm drills and pt paddles more useful, but as most swim kit is pretty cheap £25 on a snorkel is pretty good in the world of tri spend.
