Has anyone encountered one of these, the new line of speidel conical fermenters?

Looks like the lid sits in a trough of sanitizer and thus acts as the airlock, and appears to have all the important bits of a real conical. I wonder whether the out valve has a rotating arm to adjust the level of where you pull beer out, not sure what that's called in real life. If anyone has experience with these (they seem to be a very recent addition to the speidel lineup) please post now! Quality of the valves, durability, ease of cleaning, scratchability, design of lid, for example. I think I can easily adapt my cooling system to work with one of these so I'm considering it.
I will take the liberty of posting pics from my LHBS website. Cheers.
