New, Single chip, 9DOF Anyone using it yet?

I saw this update a few weeks ago and I was wondering if anyone was thinking about using this chip for their IMU? I’ve been using a separate gyro and accelerometer so it would be really nice to drop that down to 1 chip, not have to worry about orientation correction during PCB layout, and pick up the 3 axis compass. Did I mention that they’re only ~$5.50 each ($4.50 @100).

I wonder how the BMX055 compares in practice to ST's SM9DS0. http://www.st.com/web/catalog/sense_power/FM89/SC1448/PF258556

It would be interesting to know. I would love to test either one. I'm surprised that the SM9DS0 didn't come up when I search Mouser, they even have it on order for ~$11.
