Bought this cause my local store was out of WLP300 strain. But as I wanted the 300's banana flavour I used one vial for 40 liters. No starter, no aeration, 25 °C...BOOOOM banana all over the place. In my mind even more than you get with WLP300. On the other hand attenuation went down but that's a price I'm willing to pay. Aroma is less fruity and more spicy. Besides banana there's also hinds of clove and citrus in the flavour (might be the Saphir hops though) plus a very nice acidity.
