Anyone here have any real world experience with SRAM Rival 1x?

I'm currently in the process of speccing out a bike, and considering it as an alternative to the Shimano 105 groupset, as the cleaner/simpler idea of a 1x appeals to me. It will be mostly for a "gravel" bike frame, but more or less will be just used to bum around town, on bike paths, sometimes hauling my Charriot.

Good/bad idea?

Downside is that it seems to be more expensive (and on that note, having a hard time finding a place online to buy the whole groupset). Plus I find SRAM's kind of look ugly with all their graphics (although the other's aren't much better).
