Temple Fork Outfitters TFO1 reel 2-3 wt ?

I'm looking at the Temple Fork Outfitters TFO1 reel 2-3 wt to use with a shorter 3wt rod.  Three considerations have brought me to this potential choice:
1. Lightweight 3.2 oz, 
2. Price 
3. TFO's reputation.
However, I am having a very hard time finding any reviews or opinions.  I'm hoping the vast knowledge base here can supply that.  Any experience with this reel?

    Looks like a good quality reel. I'd probably spend an extra $20 for a BBS-I (spec.-wise they're really similar, with the BBS-I's spools $10 cheaper), but that's just me...I doubt you'll be disappointed. 3.2 oz, machined aluminum, brass & stainless guts...seems solid.

    i have a TFO 9' 4 wt fly rod and love it... it snapped on me last year, but they were super quick at sending me another one and i have no trouble with the one now... TFO has great service... just for that id trust them with their reels

    For the supreme test of a fisherman is not how many fish he has caught, not even how he has caught them, but what he has caught when he has caught no fish."
