Sounds OK... but it's probably not for everyone. Personally, I don't care for the green view that these devices provide. A while back Gary and I spent a good bit of time using his I3 in my 25. I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to use one, and determined that it's not for me.
I too tend to prefer the "naturally aspirated" views, but there's no denying that these: 1) allow you to see more than you would otherwise, 2) present a completely different version, and 3) cut through light pollution.
These is more appealing to me than something like the Mallincam because of the ability to use it in real time. Not only is it a live view, you don't need a tracking mount.
If at all possible, I would suggest a try before you buy approach with this - although honestly - that's not probably going to be all that possible. They ARE trying to get units around to the major star parties tho, so if you do that circuit, you just may get a chance.
