Has anyone had a chance to fly the new Gaastra Bow Kite?????

If so some info would be much appreciated.
I have a quiver consisting of 3 2005 Gaastra Visions and have been stoked with the performance of these kites, so am looking to find out about the new Gaastras, as I'm looking for a large and small bow to ad to my quiver (something around a 5-6m and a 15+m)

Test riders report on the Spyder:

Pros
Good quality and design
Good light pressure on bar, feels very similar to a Waroo
Fast on turning - responsive
Handled gusts very well, never tried to invert during our test runs
Great solid hangtime.

Cons
Bar slightly unbalanced had to shorten line on one side
Like to move a bit by itself (forward/backwards), hopefully it was bcos of the stormy/gusty conditions today.

Anyone in Brissy like to try it or order one let me know.
