I was also one of the beta testers and the first version was good but there were problems with the altissimo, which they have fixed. I now have the final version and I find it plays well, is consistent through all registers. Yes it does absorb moisture and plays whether or not is wet. I find it plays better moist. One advantage over the Legere if you are a pit player is that there is a slight tint, making it easier to adjust on the mp in a dark pit. Also it can be adjusted with a reed knife and or sand paper, reed rush.
I have been playing it for 3 weeks and it has not deteriorated.
