Even if it's not a matter of better thermal performance, just getting rid of that darn fan noise is worth it alone. Though they're saying thermal performance is greatly better.
The only question would be reliability and replacement cost. You know how long a HSF will last, usually quite a while, and they're cheap to replace.
From what I gather they haven't yet scaled it into high power territory yet, I think they said up to 30W dissipation at this point, which is still really good for lower power devices. We won't be replacing that enormous 300W TDP GPU cooler quite yet.
