Mizuno Samurai opinions?

Found this at my local Play it Again for $89:



Thoughts? It's too big for my DD currently, and she's not full time catching, but is the price OK for not-abused gear?

If I recall correctly, the reports from Chaz (who has probably seen, used, fondled more catching gear than anyone else on DFP) are that the Miz chest protectors use too rigid a foam. Because of this balls tend to bounce farther away on blocks, and transmit too much impact to the player. I think the leg guards are decent, though.
