I'm interested to see one of the HS 2000 handguns. One of the dealers listed on their website is close to where my in-laws live, so I might be able to sneak there in the next few weeks and take a look.
While the HS 2000 is definitely not going to be looked at as a radical innovation, that doesn't mean it will or won't be a good gun. Look at the CZ-75, for example. Did the CZ incorporate any new items not previously found on a gun? No. However, it is successful because it blends many positive elements in one package. I'm not saying the HS 2000 is or isn't a good gun, but just because a producs is not as ground breaking as other designs doesn't mean it isn't the best.
Anyway, only time will tell about the HS 2000. I think its main downfall might be lack of marketing and support in the U.S. Glock and other companies just make it downright easy to do business with. While that may not mean much to the common person, it means a lot to a business organization looking to standardize their tooling.
