He basically says it's an overall improvement in all areas, especially wet grip and the only downside is a small reduction in the on-limit feel of the tyre.
I think I found my next tyres

You running 19s? They're only launched in 19", 18" sizes will no doubt follow on but not sure when, which is a right pain! Also they are supposedly jolly expensive... As in more so than supersports...
I do agree though, these will likely be my next tyre choice....

Im on 18". By the time I'll replace them they'll be out in 18" sizes I'm sure. I haven't seen prices but shouldn't they be comparable to the Supersport?

When the Supersports first came out, I was paying over £200 for a rear.
My last set of rears were more like £150 each - and that was with the £ nosediving.
I expect the PS4S to do the same - but my rears used to last about a year (20k miles), and fronts double that, so with the reduced mileage I'll be doing on them I think they'll last about 4 years.
