Went there for the first time for Kissmas 2012.  The layout is good, but you do need to arrive early to get close to the rail/stage area.  The acoustics are excellent, with floor shaking bass.  Lots of bars around and even had a couple of items for food.  Restrooms a plenty.  And the best part, free parking, which is unheard of almost in Uptown nowadays.  The only notch against it I see is that it's not near anything else beyond the Music Factory; so you would have to drive off to find a good place to eat or drink.  Beyond that, enjoyed it.
