I had a GAPPS force close on first boot with this version...

I did too, but also had it force close on first boot with 2233

Been playing most of the morning with it...
CPU Spy shows it has been stepping up to 1200 MGHZ about 25% of the time. So I will suspect that means it has been clocked up in 229.
Over all it is more fluid. I install Nova launcher and it works much better than it did on 2233.
Key board is much improved. Lagged a few times, but much better than 2233
As for battery, in the limited time hard to tell, but I can tell you it seems to charge faster. (plugged it in 25 min ago and it was at 40% now at 70%.) I took it off the charger at 6:30am this morning, and I have been playing with it a lot.
Over all I am happy that I went through the process of FXZ to 229.

Razr's Edge link to my dropbox, duplicate link for 6.7.229 ICS download
You can't even install it with f0r3v3r root, it contaminates something essential. You have to FXZ back to 902, then OTA to 905, then install any ICS leak so far (6.7.2231, 6.7.2233, or 6.7.229 ). For some reason on this one I even lost my voodoo rootkeeper protected SU. No worries DjrBliss had our backs with razrs edge root, just as foolproof as ROTA 893 or MotoFail (same guy, thanks!). I'll post a battery life rating after 3 charge cycles, probably sometime tomorrow. Crazy data stability so far, keyboard seems faster like someone else already said, also more precise, fewer typos, "hotspots" for keys seem to be sized and shaped better. It's a hair slicker overall than 2233. I just wish the clockspeed and lapdock issues were addressed. As for changelog, I'm sure there is one, but since leaks are surreptitiously acquired, we don't have access to it until after an official OTA..unless maybe some moto dev would leak it to us as well, I'd really love to see the changelog since day one for porting ICS to the bionic, I could reverse engineer it by parsing the leaks, but I really don't have time, every one of these new leaks costs my "real life" (and real wife) a lot of time, between flashing, troubleshooting, etc.
Dropbox has temporarily killed my links because everybody jumped on them, I'll relink everything in about 24 hours.

The clockspeed thing isn't so much as issue, as it is a harsh reality. Some of us have CPUs which are stable at 1.2GHz, and some of us don't. Somehow, the ICS installer is testing this during installation. No one has identified exactly how this is accomplished, but my guess is some sort of stability test based on something like prime number factorization. If it kicks out a bad result, the CPU is clocked at the lower speed. If the result is what is expected, it clocks itself at 1.2GHz.
As for the lapdock, i'm not even sure Moto/VZW even care, as the Bionic lapdock seems to be a thing of the past. My guess as to the root cause is that the lapdock's non-standard (for Android) 1366x768 resolution is somehow throwing off the launcher (which is probably coded to expect more standard resolutions such as 720p which is 1280x720). This would explain why it has no issues plugged directly into a 720p TV via HDMI. The reason switching to a different launcher is likely due to the fact that the non-stock launchers simply play nicer with nonstandard resolutions. Basically, Webtop 3.0 simply puts the launcher in "tablet mode" - and as far as I know, none of the tablets use a 1366x768 screen. Why Motorola didn't simply design the lapdock with a 720p screen is the question. Probably wasn't an issue with the old Webtop because that didn't use the stock launcher.
All of this is just speculation, but makes sense if you think about it. It would have been nice, however, if they had thought of Lapdock owners when designing the ICS launcher.
You could totally be right about lapdock, however I think you're dead wrong about the clock issue. There are several folks, myself included, that were stable at 1.266 (or higher) running the projekt opptimizer kernel module on gingerbread, on the other hand there are people who got the OC with their ICS that are running at 115 degrees, mine never even hit body temp at 1.266. Also the real fact is that the chip is actually a 1.2 Ghz chip, it's not overclocked in the RAZR, it's underclocked in the bionic, and quite honestly it's a good underclock, very sensible compromise between raw clockspeed and battery life, especially with the linux 3.X kernel and both cores live. The GPU seems to be universally overclocked, colors are brighter, frame rate peaks higher, etc. I can actually live with 1 Ghz and would probably underclock to that since I have been thrilled with a 70-80% battery life increase over GB, benchmarks are just bragging rights, nobody is gonna do deep computing on their phone. I do however want that choice, I do still have a bit of "because I can" in me.
While I think you could be right about lapdock, I also think it will be resolved, the bionic phone and lapdock are less than a year old as a product, thus still under moto factory warranty. They are not going to intentionally going to put themselves in the position to have to replace/refund every lapdock they ever sold, this has not just been an issue with just the bionic lapdock, all lapdocks are affected.

Webtop and the Stock Launcher worked fine for me when plugged both into the RAZR Lapdock and my 1920 x 1200 monitor. One of the Resolution settings is 1920 x 1080 but I am certain this only outputs 720p. It would be incredible if we can see some 1080 output on this at some point.
