Anyone use the Gary Fong Lightsphere flash diffuser

Just curious on peoples opinions on the Gary Fong Lightsphere flash diffuser?
LSC

A friend of mine who is also a pro photographer swears by it.

Anything is better than unmodified flash... personally I feel like an omnidirectional modifer like this wastes a lot of the light to the rear and sides, requiring more power from the flash, eating batteries faster, and increasing recycle times.

Depends on the venue really.. a small tight room with good white walls and a low ceiling, this would allow a lot of light to be reflected. A more open venue... I would use something more directional, like a Demb bounce card or similar.
