Interesting concept but I would not want to be the first one on my
block to buy one. In some ways it looks like all the disadvantages of
an I/O without the major advantage of being able to tilt up. The
claims of more power and efficiency are no doubt true but the jury is
still out on reliability and maintenance issues.

How long has it been around?
