I've had mine for two years this month now and think it's great.  The manual is 
so-so!  The schematics are fine but the descriptions for the controls and 
settings are poor.  I have done several firmware upgrades as they've become 
available and have had no problems once I got a decent serial cable to use.  I 
use it both barefoot and with an old Dentron Clipperton L amplifier and 
consistently get great audio reports.  I bought the 705 microphone kit at the 
same time.  If you get one make sure you turn the power supply on first, then 
the Jupiter (as recommended by TT) otherwise the rig can go into a confused 
state from the power supply turn-on transients.  The cure for this is a reset of 
the Jupiter.
