I flew a SkyBoy back in 2005....
The pro's: it looks fantastic!
The con's: underpowered with a 582; no extra room at all, and I would have much preferred seats that would adjust.... I wasn't comfortable. The center stick had a short throw and so felt a bit odd, but that might be the kind of thing you'd get used to.
Preference: some people like to be enclosed, others like open air flying. I fall into the latter category, so I felt cramped and claustrophobic in it, but you may fall into the former camp.
