Quadratic Diffusers


I'm looking over the GIK Gotham N23 5″ Quadratic Diffusers. 

Anyone have any experience with these or similar? Care to comment?

What did you think of their construction, hanging hardware, aesthetics, effects on the sound, placement ease or difficulty?

Thanks folks. Two interesting options. I think I'd rather find plans and save the money on the kit by buying it all myself. If that would work out, $$ wise.
@mijostyn I was already given a couple of diffusers which are doing a great job. I'm interested in adding a few more given the current evidence I have that they work. I'm thinking about a diffuser able to operate in two dimensions.

Have not done anything yet because have been having a new room built. How hard were yours to build?

That's what I've loved about this hobby -- it's lead me to learn things and the payoff is palpable and enjoyable.

I asked on the Acoustic Fields youtube forum about balsa wood for quadratic diffusers -- I mean, why not make it really light, right? His reply was to be careful with soft woods which can degrade over time. My feeling about that advice is that if a balsa (or other soft wood) version can be done very quickly, it's worth the experiment. I wonder if you tried any soft woods?
