Index-Organized Tables

Does anyone have any real world experience with Index-Organized tables?

I have 2.5GB of data. A B*Tree index on the primary key uses about 2.2GB. It is currently partitioned on a date column for quarters and there are a couple of secondary indexes.

I am going to test converting this to an index-organized table, and was just looking for feedback from anyone who might have done something like this already.

Known drawbacks:
I know you can't create secondary bitmap indexes and secondary index queries don't execute in parallel currently.

Any pros/cons would be great.
