I'm looking at the new Scuba Pro Knighthawk and was wondering if anybody has one and would recommend this BC? I like the looks of it and think it would be a good choice.

I've had one and like it a lot. Nice horizontal trim underwater. And no, contrary to what some would have you believe, it does not place you face forward at the surface. I like my surface positioning better in this than a traditional jacket BCD. If I were not in a back plate and wing I would be diving one.
I have used one for several years now and the only thing that it lacks is pockets but most of the time the one pocket is enough.
I'm on my second one. I bought the first one used and it developed a leak at the seams after I got about 250 dives with it. I sent it in to ScubaPro to see if they would warranty repair it. They didn't repair it, but offered me a great deal on a replacement. My only complaint is the lack of sizable pockets, otherwise I love it.

I have a Knighthawk which I dove for a year before buying a BP/W. For a wrap around jacket style BC, I think it is a great BC, however I found the BP/W to be more flexable and easier to put on when using several accessories. I think it would be worth looking at a BP/W before buying the Knighthawk. BTW, I am keeping the Knighthawk as a spare.
As a dive guide,my Scubapro Nighthawk is still working great after ten years of dive guiding. I still do not understand why Scubapro does not add another roll out pocket on the other side plus two more 'D' rings.
