Insofast insulation and framing in one step?

Has anyone used the insofast panels (insofast.com)? They qualify for the %30 tax credit so I'm thinking about using them to do my basement. Basically they are 2x4 two inch panels of foam with built in plastic studs that you screw the drywall to. From the estimates I've received, it will save me money to install them myself rather than pay someone to put XPS on the walls and frame. I got a quote of $1.68 a sq ft ($13.45) a panel. With the tax credit it would be $1.17 a sq ft. That's not bad to insulate (r10) and frame the exterior walls! Does anyone have anything bad to say about them? My biggest concern is that you glue them to the wall so if the glue fails your whole wall could fall down. I plan on driving some nails or tapcon screws into each panel to be safe.

Thanks
