I don't consider it disappointing, the content is decent, and 1 photo and 1 video update per day is pretty good as far as updates go (generally I have found sites that update super-frequently tend to just update with crap). I'm not sure what you mean by sophisticated material, but I thought it was a decent variety of stuff.
That said, I doubt I will join it again, but the same can be said for almost every site I join.
It is an interesting offer, perhaps other will follow suit. I accidentally let a few rollover a few years ago, now I almost always cancel right when I join.

Pros:
-Many attractive models
-Decent sized site overall
-Navigation is good
-Good variety of softcore, lesbian, hardcore
-Camerawork is generally good
-Zips of photosets, newer ones in 3 quality levels
-Newer videos are of respectable quality, typically 4 options available (SD wmv, HD mp4, SD mp4, and portable), I generally downloaded SD mp4
-No DRM, download managers work, respectable biller
-Most girls are natural
-Frequent updates, generally a photo and video set every day
Cons:
-Sort of expensive
-No network access, no bonus sites
-Older videos and photos are substandard quality and older movies are often split in parts
-Not a lot of diversity in model body type or ethnicity
-HD scenes seem larger file-size wise than they have to be
-A fair amount (maybe 1/5 or so) of the video material is "behind the scenes" type of stuff, I don't mind it, but could be a negative for some
-Some material is not exclusive
Bottom Line:
Generally I think this site is pretty good, but not great. I sort of don't get the whole setup of all the ATK sites, what makes this one premium, is this site exclusively the hot girls? In general, I guess this is the case compared to some of their other sites as the hot/wtf ratio seems to be a good bit higher.
I liked the material here for the most part, but for some reason felt a bit disappointed here. Can't really put my finger on why. Most sites I join, I spend a fair amount more time poking around and checking things out, but I got tired of this one pretty fast for some reason. That isn't to say that they don't have some good material here, they certainly do, I just wasn't super-excited by it I guess.
As for the site itself, the navigation is pretty good: model index, scene ratings, scene tags, it is pretty easy to get around. The girls are generally of the thinner more natural body types, and they have both American and Euro stars.
Overall, I think I would recommend joining this site to those that never had before, but I don't know that I would recommend it as a repeat join even given the update schedule. They seem to do most things very well, and the models are generally quite attractive, so it is certainly worth a look.
I saw the reviewer said that, I was just pointing out the site says the opposite (unlimited downloads) on both the main screen and the join page. Just thought it was funny that it said something different from a 3 day old TBP review - I would be inclined to trust the review over the site, and thus it is most likely pretty horrible false advertising.
Their site is up and it says "unlimited downloads", false advertising perhaps, it would seem odd if they changed their policy 3 days after a TBP review...
If they fixed all their problems it could be a decent site, of course the problem is that it would take them a while to build up a catalog free of those problems.
Thanks RA, I'm sure you will find some stuff there you like (as I did), just be prepared to do some video editing yourself, and to be frustrated with it at times!
My guess is the guys that run the site are just lazy, video editing and site design are very amateur, it seems like they just film it and throw it up there. It is a pity, as they have many attractive ladies there, they just don't present the material well.

Pros:
-Some very attractive models
-I can't recall having seen any of these models elsewhere
-Download managers work (DTA)
-Good download speeds (2MB/s)
-I like the concept
-Reputable biller (I had CCBill)
-Long site timeouts, it doesn't appear to ever timeout
-Few if any fake breasts
Cons:
-Camerawork is not the best
-Lighting is not the best
-Scenes are repetitive, almost all progress in the same fashion
-Navigation is very basic, just a page with 6 scenes on it, many scenes aren't even really labelled (no model names?!)
-Site is sort of small for the price (200 scenes at the time of review)
-Video encoding on many scenes is poor (see BL)
-HD only available after 30 days, a stupid gimmick given the size/update rate of the site
-They say one update per week, seems right for as long as I have been a member, but since scenes aren't dated it is hard to tell
-No photos
-Some videos are zipped, is this 2001? Zip a wmv all you want, you ain't saving any space.
-Some odd stuff in a few of the videos (showing a girl go buy Plan B)
-No bonus material
-Streaming starts instantly when you go to a page (to all webmasters: please stop doing this)
Bottom Line:
I like the idea of this site, and it is nice to see some new faces, but I will admit I joined primarily due to the Miss Teen Delaware thing intriguing me enough to give it a look. Generally I think the models are attractive. Typically athletic, skinny, and generally on the smaller breasted side - no fake breasts that I could tell. My type of woman, so I figured 'what the hell' and joined.
The main negative for me with the site is the camerawork, lots of stationary shots as though it were filmed on a tripod, and shots I am not particularly fond of (long stretches of showing cowgirl from behind, which an ass man might appreciate I suppose, but I find it boring and a poor angle choice). The lighting can be a bit iffy at times, but they do appear to have put in some effort by bringing in some of their own lighting gear as seen in many of the shots, but all scenes are shot in a hotel room, so obviously not the best.
My second main gripe is the video encoding on this site, encoding a video that is filmed in 16:9 in 4:3 is unacceptable, and it hasn't been for several years. Basically forces you to have black bars on all sides. On widescreen monitors this will leave half or so of your screen as black space. This is particularly egregious since it is FILMED in 16:9. My only guess for why anyone would do this is that it was easier for them to do with their 30 days for HD policy. Perhaps these videos are encoded properly if you hang around for this period, but given their update schedule that is a tough pill to swallow. I used avidemux to crop the videos properly, but this is not something one should have to do at a pay site.
The scenes themselves are very repetitive, generally an interview, fully clothed oral, fully clothed doggy, naked cowgirl or reverse cowgirl, doggy, end. I have no idea why they spend so long on almost every film showing the girl from behind when she is on top, I prefer to see the girl not her back.
Overall, I think the site is a good concept, with some quite attractive original women, but the execution is too poor for me to recommend it. If they got rid of their HD policy, filmed scenes better, encoded the videos properly, and updated their navigation to at least include model names it would be a step in the right direction.
Just an FYI, for those with the time and the extra $3.99, the trial cross sell to amkingdom is full access with no limits, so at least you can get two sites (briefly) for $34. Connection timeouts are long, so you can queue up the DL manager for quite a bit.
Nice to hear it sounds like it has gotten better, the last time I was a member there, over a year ago I think, I thought the search function on VB3 was pretty terrible.
