I looked at it in some detail but they were a pain to assess. Wouldn't give me any details of the API or feature set unless I created an account... for a non-refundable $200 fee. I pointed out how ridiculous this was, and they said that if I went through their signup process and committed to paying the $200, they would let me look at the documentation without actually paying the fee. It was all so vague and ad-hoc I found it pretty hard to trust whatever might be behind the curtain.

(edit: Looks like fee is now $99, and there's a little more detail on their developers page.)

PX pricing is actually pretty good if you've got high transaction volume. But it's terrible for small biz. Most people I know default to Paypal.

Please Stripe, please come to NZ fast. You've been talking about it for more than a year. I know we must look like smaller-poorer Australia, but I promise there are people here who'd use you!
