The only reasons to use the HEX are
a) someone else is paying b) ... If you are heading for the Paddington area then the Heathrow Connect is cheaper Otherwise using the Tube or a Car Service will be cheaper and probably quicker |

I can take a VW Passat for 34 GBP or an E-class for 53 GBP! |

I always find that unless your destination is within 1 or 2 stops of Paddington, then the airport to door travel time is roughly the same if you use the Tube as opposed to the HEX then the Tube - and if you are travelling at peak time then going to Paddington to get a Tube (or even a taxi) is probably one of the most stupid ideas going
The Heathrow Connect also has the advantage of stopping at Ealing Broadway from where you can get a direct Tube to central London In any case, if there are 2 or more of you it's cheaper to get a car service from Heathrow than to use the HEX |

I just got a quote from them, and they ask 67.50 Pounds for a Lhr - Mayfair trip.
How is that cheaper than normal cabs ?? They claim on the website to be London's largest minicab company, but with this quote and service conditions, I can't imagine how. |
