I'll take an H over a V or I engine any day.

Really, they both have their advantages. V's are inherently stronger, easier to package work on and they don't rub the crap out of their lower side walls, as much. Boxers allow a lower CoG. Inline are easier to balance, compared to a V, I'm not sure about a boxer here. In the end it's all compromises.
I will admit though, I do think this is a pretty engine. I like the lack of plastic covers, and smooth timing and valve covers give it a modern look.
