Personally, I like this. I've since gone linear, but, when I was a fan of tactile keys, my favorites were the ones that placed actuation just before tactile feedback. That allowed me to type much more lightly, because I only had to press enough to get to the leading edge of the tactile bump.
I did once love my Model M, but it's more tiring to use than newer keyswitch designs are. Pushing enough to actuate the key means building up enough force to buckle the spring, at which point there's not really anything I can do to avoid bottoming out. It's sort of the double IPA of keyswitches: really, really, really good in small doses, but not necessarily something you want to be experiencing for 8 hours straight.
