Interesting, I'll check it out.

One of the arguments, as far as I understand for the BDD verbosity is that fact that the requirements are easy to communicate with customers and so therefore would be more precise in going from defining requirements to actually building the right thing. How true do you find this?

Verbosity is good for explanatory documentation but it inhibits the maintainability and editability of a spec.

Cucumber essentially treats documentation and specification as equivalent, while hitchstory treats documentation as a more verbose and readable artefact that can be autogenerated from a combination of a spec and a template.
