If you're only running Windows I recommend it highly.
However if you ever want to use it for Unix or MacOS, the macro keys will be 1KRO without the windows-only software (which from memory isn't even turned on by default under Windows). Unfortunately I need a three OS capable keyboard, which just doesn't exist in a mechanical keyboard outside Razer products (urgh...), so I reluctantly shelved it. It's left me half tempted to setup a windows only pure gaming machine just so I can use it tbh.
Can't speak to the Quickfire, but I'd be very surprised if it wasn't an identical story for quality & windows-only-ness.
Edit: And I've heard some mixed reports about how well the Trigger software works on Windows 8 btw, so if you've already upgraded I'd be cautious.
