[Greenbuilding] Benjamin Moore "Aura" paint

I'm curious about the new Benjamin Moore "Aura" line of paints -- has 
anyone yet had experience with it? And what is the word on it 
regarding VOC levels and other chemicals?

What I've heard is that it is low VOC as opposed to non-VOC, but that 
it covers in only one coat. So I wonder if the (apparently?) higher 
VOC level than their Eco Spec Pristine line is offset by the fewer 
coats and less material used.

The one coat application would also offset the higher price, I 
assume. Plus I believe it is available in deep colors, which the Eco 
Spec line is not.

Thoughts/rumors?
