I have two 2x6 and four 2x7s. they work well except for figuring out how to hang stuff. they're great for wire-hanging photos or ones with the little triangle rings because you use simple S-hooks. any flat hangers you need to find a way to put stuff up
they are not really that light but they're lighter than other options I'm sure. they are rather compact though you still you want to measure your vehicle to make sure they fit. All six of my panels barely fit the longest direction
my major problem is they let wind through and thus artwork rattles. you sometimes want a tent side up to provide a background for your art which may not work when it's windy either.
I did find out last month in the wind you need more than two panels forming an L as they fall over easily. there's not enough weight keeping them up by themselves.

Their advantages, I've read, are that you can easily enlarge your display by adding more grid panels, which can be purchased separately, or in multiple units. You can angle them differently, thus creating more movement and flow to your display. They tend to be fairly light, and easily transported.
