I've had the old iKon razors, and also the new ones (both the open comb and the safety-bar version). I also have a Pils SS razor.
I had two of the old iKons. One was the best DE razor I've ever used. The other was unusable. It just wound up cutting my face to shreds. It had all sorts of issues.
The new iKons are pretty good, The safety-bar version is too mild, as far as I'm concerned. It feels even milder than a Tech. The open-comb version shaved comparably with the New Deluxe Gillettes I have - that's what the razor was modeled on.
The stainless construction and finish of the new iKons I had were basically flawless. It was worth more than what I paid for it.
One caveat with the iKons - I'm not certain what the consistency of the manufacturing is like. It's possible that some of these razors will wind up having problems.
As to the Pils: It's a nice razor. It is beautiful, and shaves well. That said, I get a comparable shave from many much cheaper DE razors. Basically, the Pils is tooo expensive, and (IMHO) not worth the cost.
