Well thanks to mtgox's inability to do cashouts and btc-e having bitcoind offline for over 24 hours I finally decided to give coinjar.io a whirl.

I have to make the following statements:

• I do have reservations about zhoutong, but the PR team behind coinjar.io have been great at engaging the community directly without side stepping any questions, they have also gone to above reasonable lengths to ensure they are easy to contact.
• For someone living in AU, it does seem to be an extremely convenient cash out method
• The rates are good to fair.
• Im unfamiliar with their coin hosting service, but it seems to work well.
• Trust for the site can be limited to whatever you feel comfortable depositing, I suggest doing regular increments as opposed to huge dumps.
• The UI is clean, but it needs a touch more work. That being said, after 1-2 transactions its very easy to find your way around.
• 3 Test cashouts later with a 4th just started and I have to say, the transfer time for me as a bankwest customer is 1-2 business days, very convenient

So, consider me your grumpiest most cynical sceptic that still likes to think of himself as "reasonable" ......Im impressed. 
Keep up the great work and I shall continue to use this nice service in bigger increments as my trust builds.
