Hotslings Pouch Style Carrier?

Does anyone have this? Do you like it? BRU has some on clearance for $17.98 with an extra 10% off.  It seems like a good deal but I don't know much about it and was planning on making myself something similar to a Moby but this looks like it could work.

My feelings are that the pouch styles have such a limited amount of use out of them. Plus, the right size for you might not fit your dh, you know?

I've got 3 kids and have tried a million and one slings/carriers/wraps. 

 I had a hotsling with my DS and we both hated it.  He screamed like it was lined with acid and rusty nails.  I kept it for a long time, thinking we could use it with different phases/stages.  It never worked.  It was uncomfortable for me to wear him (even when he was tiny).  I think I had the wrong size (and also think I shrunk it in the wash before he was born).

 I decided to try it again with baby #3.  I LOVE, LOVE it.  My LO loves it.  I have used in for three different carries so far and it's been great.  When she's fussy, all I have to do is put her in the carrier and she calms down immediately.  I love that I can easily throw it in my bag just in case.  I can wear her while shopping, eating, cooking, etc.  For that price, I'd dfefinitely buy it.  If you don't use it, you can always resell of Craigslist for at least that much. 

 Sizing-wise, if you have a larger chest, I'd go for the bigger size.  I normally am small chested but while BF, tend to be a bit bigger.  I'm wearing a full size bigger than recommended based on weight/height.
