Thank you for being the first white mouse, will wait for your LT reviews 
the performance gain is unquestionable cos it's just somse simple physics. It's a relatively simple big chunk of metal with no moving part within so I think reliablity is not a big issue here, if it works today it's very like to be working the month after.
The biggest issue is balancing as well as how well it absorb engine vibration here as per AK said, if it fails it fails right at the moment you first start the engine after installing it. The engine will vibrate like hell.

the exige definitely has the weight advantage.
chagne the subject slightly, did you own an MRS before? hows the handling of the car?

(Yes! Better than other monsters i've driven before!)
It just gives you the original driving experience with no ESP or whatever you name it, that makes me wanna get the Exige S
