I don't - but I've been investigating the same exact lineup for myself.

I wrote the XPS 15 off due to a 1050Ti and thermal issues (I primarily want it to game)
I wrote the GS65 off due to lesser build quality (not to say it is bad, but the only laptops I've ever owned were Apple so the bar is high here).

For me it was between the blade 15 and Aero. I'm leaning towards the mercury white blade over the Aero due to unibody design and no numpad (useless for me) and better webcam placement (I skype family often). From all my research though, the Aero seems to be the one preferred by folks looking to do everything. I think the YouTube nerds gush about it because it has an SD card slot which I guess is a rarity these days or something. Eh.

If the Aero 15 isn't your cup of tea and you only plan to do light gaming the XPS 15 has the best keyboard I've ever used on a laptop outside of Apple ones (I do know someone with this one) - and the build quality is fantastic with insane battery life.

If work > gaming, I would personally go Aero > XPS 15 > Blade 15
