Seating position seems decent enough, but I would worry about the pedals moving around. When you brake with a load cell based pedal, you tend to put a lot of pressure on it and it sucks when the whole pedal base is moving around. You definitely want it bolted down and not able to move at all.
I've read some reviews and people seem to like it. The seat adjusts a lot to account for various racing positions, but the pedals require some tweaking to adjust. I think for a first time user it will be sufficient, but really just comes down to the space aspect...
