Sealife DC1200 Elite Kit - Anyone used it yet?

[rn2fly]

Considering purchasing this package. Currently, using older Nikon 4300 with Fantasea housing with about a 25% reasonable picture capture (keep) rate. Ready to move to up the next step. Looking for advice: Is Sealife a reliable company? Has anyone used this new camera and flash kit? Buoyancy, Should I purchase the 13oz counterweight to void a UW struggle? Recommendations for other products in same line or another manufacture. Heading to the Coral Sea in early July and would like to capture a some great photos. Any suggestions, comments or recommendations are appreciated.

*bump* Now that it's actually out, has anybody used this camera? Has it overcome the sticky button issues that seemed to be a problem with the earlier models?

Cheers!

I am using this package and love the results. The only issue that I have had as well as another diver I dove with last week is the Strobe arm comes off the bottom bracket underwater. I have email sealife and have not as of yet gotten a reply. I am going to take to one of their dealers tomorrow and see what happens.
