Corsair Sp120 quiet fans?

Has anyone tried these new Corsair Sp 120MM Quiet fans? They look cool and the specs look great. I just haven't seen anyone with any reviews yet...

I picked up 2 of the AF120 quiet fans this past week for use in my R3 as the intake fans (since they have to push air through the hard drives and cages). I believe I have some slight lower frequency tonal noise, but I do not yet know if that is coming from those fans or the exhaust fan supplied by Fractal Designs (only had them on last night for the first time, and it is a brand new build, with only the power supply staying the same). I will post an update tonight or tomorrow and let everyone know.

Realized I never posted the update. The tonal noise I was hearing was not coming from the Corsair fans. These seem to be pretty good (to me at least). It would be nice to see the benchmarks on these at some point. I believe a batch was shipped to SPCR (at least according to the discussion page linked from the article which announced them).
