I love it. I pre-ordered it from RightStart and it arrived today.
We had the ProBooster and it was great, but they've made some amazing improvements:
-Flexible LATCH so you dont have to buckle the booster while it's unoccupied.
-CUP HOLDERS! Two of them, with rubber inserts for easy cleaning.
-Flat base! The ProBooster had that weird base that made the seat tippy in some vehicles, but they redesigned the new PerformanceBooster so that it has the same flat base as the ProRide so that it is more stable.
-It also seems to have improved padding, both on the seat and for side impact. Very comfortable, and the fabric is like the Pro/Performance Rides, not the velvety fabric that was on the previous ProBooster (which my DD actually loves, but whatever, she'll deal!).

I'll try to get some pics soon, but YAY!

I can't wait to see pics! I'm curious to see if it is like blow mold style (like the Frontier & Vivo) or regular plastic.

I so wish this was available before I broke down and bought the Monterey. I may have even waited for it if their CS hadn't told me that it would NOT have cup holders.

Can you please measure how tall it is to the belt guide in its tallest position? Glad you love it!

I'm so sad I didn't preorder! I had it in my cart for weeks, but could never decide on a cover. Now they are out of stock online! Boo! I wonder how long it will take to ship again? My son just moved to his last click of his Frontier85, so we have some time, but I want it NOW. Ha ha! Would love some IRL pics!

Me too Recaro has to make up for its convertibles. Hope this is a great booster.
