I just received the 4x5 version and I'm going to post my observations, together with some photos, over the next couple of days.
My initial reaction is that it is going to speed up composition. I like the fact that it makes it possible to compose without a dark cloth and with an upright image. But I want to experiment a bit to see whether, when it comes to focusing, it is best used for rough focus or whether the magnifiers, when engaged, can really replace a loupe on the ground glass.
I do some work with a chef whose food I photograph. He has good visual sense and is very much involved in composition and overall look. Earlier today, I showed him how the viewer functions, and his reaction was "I love it".
