Any thoughts, opinions, etc.. on the new SSBrewTech SVBS system?

My first impression is why not build on the Braumeister concept of bottom up mash flow? Do they have a patent that is still in effect?
Things I like:
1.) 4600W / 240V
2.) Built in valves with knobs, that's pretty cool
Things I don't like:
1.) Center pipe with pump? It would be more efficient to pump the wort back up through the grain than to pump it up a pipe and have it possibly spilling around the grain bed instead of draining through the grainbed. The marketing "reason" is that at least the design won't get a stuck mash? If that's the case then a wider pipe design like the G40 might be more appropriate.
2.) $1299 for a coffee urn style system?
