I have a Zero 3 and think it's brilliant. Had a great time in the Alps with it, good climber and fun on my first proper balls out descents. Just want to get some new wheels, and the seatpost / saddle were awful so they went pretty much immediately.
Nice bikes are Genesis, but I would say that, owning an Equilibrium as well...:)

Awesome! Glad to hear you've been enjoying it.
I am a former Equilibrium owner too (former due to massive crash rather than conscious decision to part), so maybe I am biaised as well, but test riding the Zero put a smile on my face in the way the others I looked at just didn't.
For instance Synapse was perfect on paper but just didn't do it for me and I came away feeling like I wanted to want it whereas I fell properly for the Zero. But that is totally a weird personal reaction and I know that the 'Dale is a wonderful bike.
I finally replaced my stolen 2012 Scott CR1 with a Genesis Zero .4 - the red one with Ultegra. Not exactly like for like...
I am looking forward to taking it out for a proper blast on Sunday but from what I've ridden so far it is a lively and lovely machine. The saddle/seatpost then the Fulcrum R7 wheels will be the first things to be upgraded.
For those who can, the shop I bought from (London Bicycle Workshop on Clerkenwell Rd) had the same frame but Team edition spec with full DA (mechanical) including DA C24 wheels for £2.7k. A mighty fine looking bicycle and oddly bargainous even at that price??
