Hi Dan, a few months ago, I was graciously given one of these barrels to try and while they are functional and affordable, I wouldn't buy it for my own playing for two reasons:

1. My wooden Buffet-Chadash barrel just has more core and resonance.
2. As you pointed out, I would have to rotate my mouthpiece every time I use the rotating mechanism, which I think is not much better than switching to different barrels in most cases.

And, yes, I do think they are meant for students, but for most of my students and their given funding on their muiscal studies, I would try to convince them to invest in better mouthpiece/ reeds/ ligature/ repair, instead.
