Anyone growing any of these?

boone, NC(Zone 5b)

I allow myself one new JM special tree each year. I look for something unusual and tree has to be good to a zone 5. Generally I like the bigger leaves. I have been taking a look at the following cultivars and am wondering if anyone out there has something good or bad to say about them?
