Yes. Colin Straus, co editor if RCJI has one and has written an extensive review just published in the latest magazine.
One of my UK flying friends also has one, he is delighted with it, even prefers to soft case to the hard, Core, case
As for the timer aspect mentioned above, I too, have arranged mine, so that time is announced by pressing a spring loaded switch. Just assign the timer function, with voice, to the selected switch or button.
Perhaps a future software update will allow countdown ( if, in fact, it can,t yet be done !)

I wrote earlier that it has a very “tight” gearbox. That is certainly the way it feels. Richard at PB tells me that this is a function of the high frequency operation 1000 hz v 330hz or so, increasing the holding power when static.

The one improvement I would like to see is “soft start” , perhaps a future software update will enable this.
