Anybody had any experience with this Point 65 modular sit-in rec kayak?

Currently on sale at REI ($314.49 for each half)... I've looked at this before, and given it's now on sale I'm about ready to make the leap.
I'd love to get a 14+ foot flatwater boat, but living in an upstairs apartment with no garage or yard, plus the transport issues, make that unfeasible. This looks like a way to own a boat that I can store in my place and transport inside my vehicle. Plus I can now save some $$ on it. :haha:
I've previously owned and operated a 12-foot rec kayak when I lived in the S.F. Bay area. And yes, I took it out all over the Bay, and even out the Golden Gate and on the near-shore ocean!
I've read what reviews I can find online (I gather these things are fairly rare, at least in the U.S.). Anybody here have any thoughts on this boat?
