Anyone look into aerospikes?

I only ask because I followed the progress of the linear aerospike engine development for the aborted X-33 project, and it seemed to offer a lot of advantages. Then I found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndgvIbtZ5hU&NR=1 which shows that a small scale aerospike is definitely feasible.
Just wondered if anyone had considered it for rockoon or SSTO designs?
