Anyone using vConverter from Vizioncore?

Is anyone using vConverter from Vizioncore for P2V conversions to Hyper-v? We aren't able to purchase SCVMM yet, but we have some servers we want to virtualize now. Looking at the prices on CDW, it looks like the price may be right. What has your experience been with it? Also, along these lines
