I agree with the "Proof is in the playing" concept. With all the reviews and sound recordings leaning heavily in favor of "a great playing and sounding unique uke", only the individual can decide the worth of the design work, tooling expense and luthier training required to get to that sound and feel. Looks are a lot easier, as Pete said, some will like it, some won't. As for price, because it isn't a big high end production name like any of the Big K's or Martin doesn't mean it's not worth the price.
My excited Revelator reviews are based strictly on my background from playing many ukes in and around this price point, and experiencing it's sound and feel as a "stands out in a crowd" uke. To get this voice out of a uke less than 1/2 the depth of a standard tenor, and all the comfort that comes from a slim body with excellent lines, well it's just something that doesn't come around very much. That's what I hoped to convey to others here who come from similar backgrounds but who hadn't had the chance to play one themselves.
Oh and one other thing I don't think has been mentioned in the reviews I've seen, the teardrop sound hole location also acts similar to a side sound port, allowing the player to hear more of that great voice up in their own ears. And I do love side sound ports!
