I finally played my Powerslide at a gig. What a blast! I got to stand up front with the guitar player. (I also sing lead vocals and harmony on some songs)
I decided to skip the volume pedal, to avoid tweaking my back. The volume knob is perfectly located on the powerslide, so you can hook your little finger around it from the normal playing position.
I was concerned about standing and the weight on my neck, but the powerslide is so light it was no problem... it might even be lighter than an acoustic guitar?

It is definetly a keeper!
:D Dom
