OT: Anyone Here Using REV PRO...?

As many times as we've discussed storage and archiving video here, I was just wondering if anyone is using Grass Valley's REV PRO system? You can read about it at Video Guys. It looks to me to be one of the more viable alternatives.

Whether you've used it or not, after reading about it, I'd still be interested in hearing your thoughts.

Thanks!

What can I say but it's brilliant. I believe the problems with the cameras might be fixed.
What do we love about the idea?

No expensive decks.
I can buy the media for a decent price in many computer shops.
Unlike XDCAM it uses an industry standard XML structure.

As just an archiving systems, well my old Zip drive is still in daily use, OK, I'm a bit of a Luddite.

Also I'm thinking about trying DVD-RAM, omly because me new Sony burner supports it but I think Rev Pro would be better.
