It works quite well. The AF-D has an aperture ring so I didn't need the G adapter with the "aperture control" (read: just an iris in the adapter). Unless you plan on adapting G lenses, there's no point spending the extra amount. The adapter itself is solid. Fits both camera and lens tight with no wiggling. I never once found myself worrying that the adapter would come off.
The only cons I find are that the adapter doesn't come with a "rear lens cap" (I bought one on ebay for $2), and that it makes even small Nikon lenses front heavy (that's the case for all FF adapters I guess). With an X-T1 that's less of an issue, but even my gripped X-E2 didn't help much in terms of overall balance.
Edit: I forgot to mention that I have used a friend's SpeedBooster. If you have Nikon glass, it's a pretty neat toy. But to me, it's just that. I wouldn't use many FF lenses just because it'll become too difficult to handle, but an 85 1.8 becomes a MF 56 1.2. If you had the lens already and needed that focal length and light gathering ability, then I can see it being useful.
^^ I've learned over the years that for vacation shots in RAW, only work on the photos that you would deem a 4 or 5 out of 5. Going through hundreds of RAW files can be tedious, and at least for me, the majority of them are just snapshots that I can easily just "auto" and concentrate on the ones I think would look really good with some manual adjustment love.

Just my two cents.
I couldnt agree with you more! I still have to semi edit everything just to show the family . Oh well i guess they will have to wait lol
after dinner tonight, the wifey and I walked around False Creek. I took the opportunity to do some long exposure shots as I haven't tried it with the new camera. Didn't have a tripod so had to make due with benches and railings. Very impressed with the dynamic range. With my old D90 I would get blown highlights.
