FWIW, I purchased 2 on spec (Based solely on their availability in the AFF Store). Like others here, VA and NZ were not at all cooperative and completely failed to loose my luggage... Although they have only been subjected to pretty simple routings... so far.
Trips to date: ABX-SYD-AKL, AKL-SYD-ABX (SYD-AKL was a VA codeshare on NZ metal) and ABX-SYD-CBR, CBR-SYD-ABX.
My feedback, however, would be the absence of a web interface (a la Find my iPhone, or similar) is a negative. I'd definitely much rather look up a website myself than ring the call centre. It would permit testing without pestering an operator. Plus there's the cool factor of being able to look up your luggage any time you want. They do mention that the LugLoc periodically phones home (I believe anytime it stops for a reasonable length of time) so presumably the data is already in the LugLoc servers, they just haven't built a pretty interface with a map.
I agree that checking via a web app would be preferable to phoning an operator.
