X-Tools floating metal pliers?

Has anyone had a chance to give these a good look yet? I remember a few guys mentioning them after the fall trade shows, but that was the last I heard of them. The only feature I do not like, without actually holding them, is the side cutter. This can make cutting the line on a deep hooked fish hard.

Looks pretty cool Mike. Have you had a set in your hands yet? Granted my $5 Wal-Mart pliers kicked butt last year, I am always looking for new toys.
