I purchased one about a month ago (thanks tax refund). I think after Jeremy's post from his striper trip several of us went and got them, so there will be a small armada of bright yellow inflatables out there.

I have only used it a few times, but so far I have enjoyed it. I think it is as easy to get in and out of, tracks well and is easy to paddle.  I got a 230 cm paddle but think a 240 might be better given the wide beam.  I am 6'2" and about 185 lbs, and it supports me and gear for and afternoon of fishing without an issue. It may be a little short for someone 6'4", I have adjusted the seat on mine towards the rear of its range.  Inflating and deflating are reasonably quick, I got the AE foot pump with the gauge which is convenient for proper inflation.

I purchased it at west marine in alexandria, they price matched the listing on amazon, but had some hesitation in doing so as I don't think it is their policy to match amazon.  It wasn't in stock so they ordered it, which took a couple of days, but I didn't have to pay shipping, and west marine has a rewards point program.
