Good, bad, undecided?

I found an advertisement for 1and1.com in Wired magazine last week, and was curious if anyone here uses them for domain regs? They claim to be " the world?s #1 registrar with 4 million domains already registered!" At $5.99/year, and 1 free e-mail address included, free unlimited e-mail forwarding, free forwarding, masked forwarding, and free domain parking, the offer is hard to ignore. I would save about $7,208/yr on domain holding costs if I were to transfer my domains there. I use DirectNIC now, and they do a great job. I wonder if 1and1.com is comparable? They seem like they have a solid track history. In business for twelve years, maintain 4 world class data centers...ect.

Like most things, you get what you pay for, maybe it is too good to be true? I'm going to do a test with one of my domains, but I'm curious if anyone has experience with them. If so, please post.
