Got a 3/4 cue that arrived just after Christmas. Had just under 3 hours game-time on it so far (I've been busy).
Initial comments:
Got a piece where stock and shaft are visibly different in colour and grain. Verified that there was no mix-up. Balance is perfect. badge lines up with chevrons on ash shaft for those whom this matters to. Cue is straight, no dings/dents etc on shaft.
Shaft is not whippy, feels pretty good on power shots. Stock tip is a tad hard for my taste. Don't get as much english and spin on the cue, though this could be due to my being used to a 9/9.5mm tip as opposed to the 10mm
Shaft finish is decent, not sticky or anything though I am considering re-finishing or further oiling to see if I can get it smoother. Am not far from needing powder on the bridge hand at the moment.
All in all, cue is a pretty good piece of business in terms of value for $, esp for newer/less serious players.
Accessories-wise, as some have noted previously, the mini-butt somehow manages to feel a little plasticky. Haven't taken a very close look at the material but it screws on fine and doesn't interfere with the feel when attached. Long extension is firm at full-length. No fancy designs etc on either mini-butt or extension, just nice, functional pieces.
Cue came shipped in aluminium case. Case was slightly damaged during shipping (cracks on edge guards, mis-alignment on latches). For those who have a longer transit time (I'm in Singapore and the cues ship from Hong Kong) and/or are not ordering "full sets", you may wish to consider emailing in and asking for better freight-proofing.
I don't have pictures at the moment but if anybody wants some or has further questions feel free to post and I'll do my best to answer.

My mates got a Dunns cue, I didnt realise he paid so little for it. Its a really really nice cue, I never thought to ask him price and just assumed it was was one of them 400 quid cues.
Superb cue for the price, I want one !

Just placed an order for a customised cue with Dunns, ended up going for a cue with a long butt with a joint in the Splices. Mocked up a little diagram to give an idea of how i'd like it to look, not an amazing pic but gives a general idea:
