Default OS Engines 15GGT- Issues or Concerns

I'm considering changing over my Bruce Tharpe Flying King 80" wing span from a Saito 100 to one of the new OS Engines 15GGT engines. The airplane is under construction, looks like it would be a relatively straight forward change. The 15 GTTis the glow version and does not have the ignition module, so this should be fairly simple from an installation view point. That said, before I do this, I'd like to hear from folks regarding their experiences with this engine. Thanks!!!

I doubt that there are that many of these out there yet.
The pricing at $399 is insane. It should be no more than $299.tops, considering that it's the same engine as the GT-15 ($349) minus the $80 ignition module.
The new ignitions are tiny and easily fit in .60 size sport planes, and with the Flying King, neither weight or space is an issue.
The GT-15 is a sweet running engine. We have one flying at our field on a 4 Star 64 ARF. A very nice combo!

I'd like to get my paws on one too, the GT15 not the glow. With Tower's Super Saver it should be closer to 300. I'd bet it would make an excellent powerplant on pipe and it would be very quiet.
