Browning A5 question

What's the board's opinion on the new Browning A5. I really like the way that it fits me and points but I just don't like buying redesigned guns when they first come out. What's the verdict on this gun from the board?

It's a Browning. Big leg up IMO even for a new design.

I bit the bullet and bought one... LOVE IT! I've got 2 cases of shells through it without a hickup except on some 7/8 oz loads. It didn't like those!

Slayem, my Gold 3 1/2 is ticky about 7/8 loads also unless I keep the recoil spring and tube really clean.

I figured I'd just leave those shells to the o/u guys!
