I really like the ability to adjust the legs individually forward and back and 45 degree. The interchangeable feet is also attractive.

The 45 degree leg thing is way overrated. I have been competing in PRS for years, and I can only think of once or twice where that came in handy. I still have a few Atlas bipods, and Harris, but I mainly use Ckyepods and Magpuls depending on the use.
The Harris is still a fine field/hunting bipod. It will be more stable than the magpul, but slightly heavier with tilt, pan, and an Arca clamp. It also has more crap to snag on gear, clothing, bushes, etc.
The Arms 17 mounting option allows you to use almost any attachment method. As I said earlier, I would avoid tension knows, and concentrate on lever coamps.
