Quickie killer?

Biggest question on my mind: Are the ITCC folks going to get behind this? Comps have been turning down Quickies at gear check...
It's clearly a functional piece of gear, but at its price point may not fully replace the Quickie...comp climbing might be a niche where this is needed to avoid any slic pin concerns (of which I personally have none).
It's CE certified, so I can't see any way for them to deny it as long as it's used according to manufacturer's instructions
 
the ISC website has a 3d rendering you can interact with. Shows the non button end of the shackle. Pin has a "T" top to help capture it. I like that nothing is sticking out of the sides.

 
"...the high-vis sheave aids in locating the wheel if dropped."
I am looking forward to playing with this and trying to find my sheave when it bounces off a couple of limbs on the way down.
What? You mean you can't spot a little round bobbin under two feet of snow?
 
Yah, I don't know if I'd be super comfortable with that either. The hardware looks fancy though....
 
Yes but a carabiner has a spring loaded gate, so 2 actions to unlock it, but then you still need to open it. This is just 2 actions to unlock, then the pin just slides out on its own

Double locking triple action, vs double locking double action
