I felt the same way but it's a cheaper rail. If they would've made it with the Lite/RIS mounting system, it would've probably cost upwards of $300 just due to the popularity. It would be a DD Lite-Lite. It also has anti-rotation tabs which I never understood why DD didn't bring over from the RIS to the Lite rails. One downside vs this rail and the Noveske is there isn't an improved accessory mounting system over any other slick tubes. Lack of QD cups and having to buy them aftermarket is odd.
I think the pin will be optional or maybe not even available when the rail is sold separately. Todd K. says their current M4 uppers don't have the pin.
The Geissele rail is said to be anti-rotational but I fail to see how that could be. I don't see any feature regardless of the cross-bolts or how securely it attaches to the barrel nut that would fully prevent rotation. It wouldn't be a concern of mine but that is just a claim that I don't believe can be substantiated. That's like saying my DD Lite has anti-rotation.

any more news about release of these rails?
The fact that this is expected to be released in a 15" version has peaked my interest. I love my 14" DD lite but I wish it was a smidge longer
Any updates on an expected release date?
According to Bill on 5/2/12....
" 15" are shipping to anodizing tomorrow. It should be no more than two weeks, three max.
13' are two weeks after the 15" "
Here are some pics of one of the first ones.....everything shown comes with it, and it's in Sand Matte for the M4 Carbine
These new rails are gonna be wicked!
Looks pretty good. Beefy as hell to boot. This and the nsr will make nice editions to the AR platform.
Atleast it appears to come with a decent qualty barrel wrench lol
