First impressions are good.

Build quality is good.
Voice search is much improved over ICS.

Downside is that there is no FLASH support - it is not installed and can't be downloaded from PLAY store or installed from a backup from another device.

The BBC iPlayer app (and a few others) is not compatible with the Nexus 7 and doesn't work via their website.

I suppose they'll catch up and allow it soon.

The Youtube app is working though.

Congrats.  From what I read eBuyer was one of those stores that shipped some units out before being told by Google to hold the rest until they give the official release order.  Looks like you got one of the early ones that got out.
