I have been able to put this kettle into regular duty and have established a pretty decent list of what I like and don't like about it.
Pros:
Inexpensive (especially for me!)
Easy to control the pour/ feels good in hand
Heats water relatively quickly (less than 8 minutes for 1L from fridge to boiling)
Very easy on the eyes, even the wife gave it the nod
Cons:
I wish it held a bit more than 1L, 1.2 or 1.3L would allow for preheating of the brewing device and still allow a full 1L batch for when I want more than 2 16 ozish cups at a time
The goose-neck spout would benefit from a slightly more exaggerated bend allowing the tip to stay closer to the surface of the coffee slurry
The protruding spout (into the body of the kettle) leaves a small amount of water behind limiting the already smallish size of the kettle. This is more of an annoyance than a true complaint but worth mentioning again.
Overall I give the Bonavita a B+ and feel no need to buy another pourover kettle (though I would participate in another road show of a different brand). I have also put the regular teapot that used to sit on top of the stove into storage as even though it had a larger capacity it was slower (electric stove) and the pour was impossible to control (not purchased with pourover brewing in mind).
As for pourover in general I love the results I have been getting from both the V60 and HIC 3 hole brewer from Amazon. I will still use the Aeropress and CCD because half the fun is in the variety but I love the addition of the pourover to my arsenal. Thanks again to all who joined in and Dave in particular for setting this up.
