I just got a t.rice and been riding it all week on the bash.
Yes it is amazing, its is stiff so no shatter at high speeds, and its impossible to catch an edge on it because of the banana/magnetraction, when it catches an edge it corrects itself points straight again.
The magnetraction also helps quite well on hard pack and steep slopes, gets quite good grip.
Mine is the 157 blunt so i did not notice much difference riding on powder, also the banana camber is less accentuated on the t.rice than the banana.
Only thing I did not like about it is that the top sheet is plastic (bean or whatever they call it) so its very very easy to chip it. On my last board the top sheet was fiber glass so I did not have as many chips even if I did put it through a lot more.
Bear in mind that you have to change your riding style as you cannot put weight in the front and you cannot steer with the front foot. I noticed that it is better to have the weight in middle/back. It is a non issue if u carve properly as u put weight in the middle and lean on the appropriate direction.
