It might be only me, but I think this would be much scarier than Blue Origin or Virgin Galactic. Less control, and much longer. Flight length might make it worth the money, though.

The use of hydrogen instead of helium is what would scare me the most.

Impressive, but not a trip to "space" at just 30,000m. Should really be Strato Perspective. It does sound serene, on a good day, though.
