Anyone have experience with these? From what I have read they 'invented' the modern day tri bike so how do they compare now?

They don't have a history for being aerodynamic. The latest one has some interesting features (drive set frame is offset to shield the cranks from the wind) but still not considered at the forefront. As far as I know the main QR guy is long gone from there (Dan Empfield of Slowtwitch).

I was looking at the 'Kilo' down in your favourite shop. Gonna drop down and get fitted on it maybe and see.
