If you want to maximize screen real estate, drop the scale to 125% (default is 150%) in display settings. After doing so, dual-window multitasking becomes glorious!
The speakers, while loud, sound tinny out of the box. To get fuller sound, I opened the "DTS HeadphoneX v1" app (pre-installed) and selected the "3D Fx" option. I'm not sure why this isn't enabled by default, because it provides a tremendous boost in sound quality!
Battery level is at 50% after ~6 hours of use running Chrome with several open tabs and various Office products with screen brightness at 70%. Not bad!
I'll need a week or two of use to form a definitive opinion, but I'm pretty sure I've found my next laptop!

I know they have a 90 day return policy. I would usually not bother if the difference was small, but for $150, I may have to return and rebuy if they don't price match.

They price match within 30 days or if you request that they make an exception as you will be forced to return and rebuy. So that will be on their discretion.
Thanks. I'll try my luck in a couple of weeks.
