I like it for our purposes: being able to have a camelback type hydration system using standard water bottles without having to reach behind the seat on my SWB. I could see having one bottle filled with water and the other filled with electrolyte solution and perhaps color coded bite valves. I wonder if they'll market one that is compatible with Nalgene style bottles?

What's wrong with reasonably priced Camelbak bottles and attaching tubing to those:



This has 2L UnBottle bladder and two CamelBak Performance Bottle 650ml attached to CamelBak Hands-Free Bottle Adaptor.

This gives me 2L for water (in bladder), 0.65L ready electrolyte and spare 0.65L water in bottle (I carry spare electrolyte powder). For long legs only, didn't yet need spare bottle in my 4+ hours and 113km leg.

Cheers,
-Mika

Does anyone have a system with about three times more flow? I have never liked sucking my brains out to get enough fluid at one time.

Build a pressurized system?

Hey, you might be onto something! Just mount the bladder on top of the seat and it would provide cushioning too.
