Marathon-RACE (clontech) inquiry

[Bradley Turner]

Dear Bionetters,

Does anyone have any experience (positive or negative) that you
could share, about the newly released Marathon-RACE system from
Clontech?  This system uses RNase H- Reverse Transcriptase and 
oligo dT to make cDNA and LA-PCR (Barnes et al. long PCR) with
user supplied primers to obtain 3' and 5' ends of cDNAs.

Does it work? 

Thanks,
Brad
