I can't say I hate NDT's but like Barrman said, they have their limits, but also have their advantages.
The deuce does OK with them unless I get really stuck, but any tire doesn't do much good clawing at greasy mud after 5 inches of rain under a 13,000 lb truck. Same thing with the 715. Even with 10 lbs of air in my TSL's in the right spot they are pretty useless under its 5,000 lbs. 6,000 with all my gear and extra parts. The winch is the best insurance policy. Other times they are the best tire I've owned. There doesn't seem to be a one-size-fits-all tire for the wheeling I have done.
All that said, if I were about to spend over $200 per tire, I'd either look for a set of XZL's or buy a resonably priced off-road tire. All four of my TSL's were about $800 with tax out the door.
