I have used one for several years now and it has never failed me. And, although the wm-40 series is not true diversity I have never experienced any noticable dropout.
The self contained transmitter is far superior to the conventional pack style. The guitar player I work with has one also and loves it.

At the rick so us both getting flamed i totally agree.
Ive been using one for two years now and not had one single drop out. I dont wander too far from the stage and only then its at sound checks but i have no problem with it other than its only a single freq unit and so if you clash with someone else you cant do anything about it.
I dont play big venues though, maybe 300 people max.
I also use (with another band) a AKG WMS400 system and again no issues at all. I got that so i can change freq's when needed as with that band i play a few holiday camps and they tend to use quite a few radio mics. Again, not expensive.
Both systems do change the tone very slightly but for me a fresh set fo strings or a wooden stage makes more of a tonal change than the system does (and once the band are playing its all irrelevant IMHO)
