In reply to UKC Gear:
It feels like they're making up "benefits" for the carabiner-less system.
1. Any belay carabiner will have anti cross loading functionality built in (I use a DMM Ceros, for example).
2. This apparent extra 20-30 cm of feed out. For a start the Ceros is 7.4 cm long so I can't see how without that I'll get an extra 10-20 cm's. Secondly, the belayers positioning in relation to the wall will allow you feed out of lots of slack quickly (i.e. moving into the wall), so that's far more important than the length of the carabiner.
Looks pretty sleek but I won't be rushing to replace my grigri.
