Excellent feedback, I agree it is too verbose. I definitely need to improve on the copy skills. I'm going to review it tonight.

I'd not say 'improve' - call it expand :-)

Being verbose has its own advantages too. One that I can immediately point out is from SEO perspective.

As most know, one thing the SE crawlers love the most (besides links) is content. Content rich (i.e. verbose) pages are usually good organic traffic magnets. (On the flip side, they can deter many human visitors! The Catch 22 is, common webmaster guidelines say 'optimize for human visitors'.)
