Does anyone have experience with the Schiedel Isokern chimney system?

It seems to be easy to install, of high quality, flexible, durable, and economical. The surface can then be treated with, for example, facade plaster and given the same finish as the rest of the house to maintain a consistent look (in my case, the chimney will partly be on the exterior of the house facade).
But before I order this product, I want to hear about others' experiences, both positive and negative aspects of the Isokern kit compared to different alternatives of comparable quality and flexibility (e.g., building a chimney the old-fashioned way with bricks).

good and stable chimney. thanks to casting reinforcing iron into the 4 corners of the outer shell, disadvantage: flimsy appearance if plastered.
I bought an adapter for the chimney brick and clad the top part with chimney brick.
