So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

If you are looking to develop your brachioradialis and brachialis, then it will help.
The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

just make sure that when the elbow is fully flexed, the elbow is only able to travel forward a few inches allowing the forearm to be no more than perpendicular to the floor. This is a common mistake I see as it allows for a relative release of tension in the muscles between repetitions.

Unless you are doing them for forearms, I agree that hammers are far better. Forearms are the limiting factor when doing pronated curls, none of the bicep area will be challenged IMO.
