I just tried out an all T-70 list.
I had Poe with predator and (R5-P9) the droid that recovers a shield if you have a focus at the end of the turn. He was awesome.
I am not saying he is the best ship / best combo / or even a supper efficient use of points. But he was pretty fun.
Actually I liked how all the T-70's flew. The hard turn around they have and the boost action make them pretty awesome.
Poe is pretty solid. There's just something satisfying about flying X-wings of any flavor.
Some people on here are still walking around with their bottom lips poked out about how X-Wings still suck... DAT is beyond my capacity to abide!
The rest of us are on board... boy and how baby!!!
What's not to?

them being beautiful models doesn't hurt
I had Poe and Ello flying together and I am struggling playing with other ships right now.
Love those two together.
Yea the new T-70's are fun to fly. Not sure why. There is nothing super special about them. For me it's doing the talon roll. Tonight's list was the Rebel version of a 3 Tie Defender list.
Ello Asty
Outmaneuver
R2-D2
Shield upgrade
"Hobbie" Klivian
Targeting Astromech
Integrated Astromech
Jek Porkins
Veteran Instincts
R5-D8
Integrated Astromech
Game one I lost bad due to very poor piloting by me against a very good pilot who seemed to know what to do to counter everything I threw at him. He was flying a Chewie, Ello Asty, and Green Squadron A-Wing. All I k.o.ed was Ello and 2 shields off of GS A-Wing. Never even touched Chewie. And my Ello died round 3 without taking any damage before that round started.
Game 2 I ended up winning. He had Vader, Howlrunner, Zeta Leader, Scimitar Squadron Pilot, Academy Pilot
This was a back and fourth game that had a lead change 3 of 4 times. Very fun.
Poor T-65 looks at the Autothruster, then at Engine upgrade...

Then at Biggs and says: "Oh right, I have the most game breaking piece of restricting design as a pilot, guess they should be careful when buffing me". IA is going to make us see Biggs a lot in the new season. The other T-65s maybe may sometimes fly next to him when someone ikes them a lot. But Biggs is officially back.
I too have recently dipped into the Poe pond. It was after watching Ep 7 and feeling like I needed to recreate some of that fun. I have played 90%+ of my games as Imperials but I have to admit that flying an X-Wing with boost feels very Imperially. I have messed with Rebs in the past but nothing grabbed me like Poe, he is AWESOME! I have been running him with TLT Horton+engine and those two are deadly together.
Long live the Darklighter!!!
Thrn again i have to fly against him...so nevermind 
Played Poe for the first time with two K-wings. Tried him with PTL, AT and BB8. I'll try R5-P9 next time, seems a better match, but I did well as he was.
Don't think I'll ever bother using Poe without PtL ever again. PS 10 isn't worth losing Boost/TL access as needed.
That being said, you don't have to PtL every single turn on a three action ship, so the limited greens won't be too restrictive.

Try predator on him. Pretty much the same as TL boost but never stressing yourself.
Today I played two game with my two favoured movie heroes. In the first I fielded Luke Skywalker with R2-D2 and in the second I flew Poe Dameron with BB-8. It was both just awesome. I love flying with T-70. It drew me to the game and it flies like a dream.
