Holga lovers have you seen this ?

Hello all having never used a Holga I've been toying with the idea of getting one and came across this new one ,it ticks a few boxes as it will do either half frame shots or stereo photos uses 135 film so will keep costs down,.if only it would do pinhole as well ! Still a little costly for what it is but I'll be waiting for second hand ones to turn up. If you have used a Holga what do you think of them ?
Here's the link anyway.

The only Holga I have used was a pinhole, the Holga WPC 120. I was happy with the images it produced (see https://www.flickr.com/search/?user_id=33186310@N03&sort=date-taken-desc&text=holga&view_all=1) and compared to the pinhole camera I now use (an Ondu) it had the advantages of a shutter threaded for a cable release, and a way of sticking filters on the front. It also produced sharper images than the Ondu. However, build quality was the weakness and last time I took it off the shelf I realised that the clips that hold the back on had gone missing, so I decided to throw it away. A camera for life it ain't.

I had a look at your flickr photos I'm really impressed especially the infra red photos ! there is a real atmosphere to them.
