I can say, I did see some interesting trends on them compared to more traditional blades.
FWIW, the Align 3 blade head is essentially rigid and had some really weird vibration issues whenever you gave it any sort of cyclic input making it unsuitable for aerial videography. I remember looking at the Goblin 3 blade head design but I can't remember what if any conclusion I had were. I have been waiting for MSH to release their 3 blade head as I suspect it will actually fly properly.

Did you match and balance the three blades against each other? CG and weight have to be identical, otherwise you will inevitably run into vibrations.
