Opinions on Lekue Silicone Baker

I  recently bought a Lekue. My breads are coming out pale and I’m thinking about returning it.

What are your baking experiences using it?

Remove the loaf from the lekue and return it to the oven till a nice crust forms. Or simply open the lekue for 10 minutes towards the end. On the occasions I use mine (less often now I do mostly freestanding but good for very high hydration doughs without the use of a Dutch oven) I get a lovely crust following this method.
