Test driving the new Phonak Audeo B-Direct?

[gunns]

Not quite a month post-op retrosig with SSD.  I'm looking for hearing aids and discovered that Phonak has a new aid out that is a direct link to Cell phones (no necklace required).  Has anyone tried them?  Looks like they are only BTE.  Wish they were ITE units.  With my limited knowledge they appear to be quite similar to the Oticon.  Any feedback is appreciated!
