Had one before going to a BP/W and I liked it quite a bit. Not as much as my BP/W but it's a great BC. I really liked the fit and the tank band is excellent. High quailty as well.
The LPI dump is very well designed, you can actually control how much air you release.
Trim pockets give flexibility for different weighting depending on whether I'm in a wet/drysuit or different fins.
D rings on the shoulder/waist straps are perfectly placed (for me, at least) for slinging a pony.
The material on the back makes it comfortable for the few times I get to go diving in a pair of shorts.
Dislikes:
The fold out pocket is a bit of a waste of time.
The integrated weights can be a PITA to get in at times, particularly if you use (a lot of) shot in them.
Took me a while to get used to the inflate/deflate buttons on the LPI - just different from what I was used to, not bad per se!
The clip on the LPI for holding the LP hose to the corrugated hose comes off if you're not careful when de-rigging your kit - I've changed mine.
Tank band fiddly if you use different sized tanks.
I love mine. It's very light and streamline. My only complaint is the same as dlndavid's: I wish it had more pockets because although there are two of them, they are not very big.
I'm trying to get a friend of mine to buy one for his first BC.
