I saw this and it looks full of win because it uses omron switches and a cherry mx blue switch, thoughts?  For 80 bucks, just a little steep, has anybody hadthe pleasure of using this yet?

What is the advantage of having an MX Blue switch on a mouse? Seems like, if anything, it would be less suitable for the purpose than a typical Omron mouse switch.

Doesn't seem to be anything special in other regards, either; the Avago 9500 sensor can be had in other mice that are cheaper and lighter, and I don't see any areas of particular distinction in the electronics.

So really, I don't see the point.

Good question hence the curiosity, the mx blue switch is probably just marketing hype, I'm in the market for a new mouse and was wondering if anyone had any relevant experience with it.  Its pretty new and I've only found one review thus far.
