Windsor yeast in an Irish stout?

[AndyMac81]

I'm brewing a dry stout this weekend (might change to oatmeal stout) and want to try danstar Windsor yeast. Has anybody used this in a stout before? I'd love to hear about it.

I've used Windsor a few times before for English Mild Ales but it wouldn't be my first choice for a Dry Stout as it lacks the attenuation and dryness needed for the style. If you prefer to use dry yeast Nottingham would be a far better choice and it clears down a lot faster too.
