A New Spinning Wheel on the Market!!

As an avid spinner it's always interesting to see what's new on the market.  A friend has been selected to be a test spinner for a new wheel coming out of the Netherlands so I am interested to see how it spins.  It's a very modern looking wheel but simple as well, a bit like the dutch imo, no fuss no muss.
Here is the Linky....tell me what you think of their look!  Woolmakers  From the look I quite like that it has bobbin storage on the wheel and the size of the wheel means it'll be fantastic for thicker spins.  It's 2cm larger in the wheel than the Ashford Traveller wheel and 5lb lighter.  The shape of it looks like it would be easy to maneuver around compared to other non folding wheels.

I will be looking forward to hearing how it spins.  Also I will be interested to see how much fibre/yarn you can get off the bobbin.  The price is about $330 AUD and I would guess that shipping from there would be around another $100AUD as I know I can get 10kg from the UK for about that.  That makes this wheel very affordable.
