New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts?

I noticed Frank Schroeder has a new linear arm without servo motors, pumps, etc. seems like a promising direction. Did anyone hear it at RMAF?

If interested there is an extensive thread with lots of photos and diagrams on DIYaudio.com: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/analogue-source/165878-angling-90-tangential-pivot-tonearms.html The thread also discusses some of the issues with this approach. The Schroeder arm shows up about a year ago on that thread.
