The brits we were competing against in an international competition a couple years ago said that the latest version is pretty good, but that the first attempt was utter crap.
I don't care for the ergomomics and lack of effective open sights. I also don't like that it's an oddball design with little or no support for spare parts or accessories.
The idea of 20" barrel ballistics from a weapon that's shorter than a 14.5" barrel M4 is a nice one though...
