n/m )Original poster is blind) SuperMicro AOC-USAS2-L8i for ZFS/FreeNAS?

I'm setting up a FreeNAS box with 4 HDs to start and am considering the USAS2 for it. I don't own any straight HBA's; only RAID cards. I currently own a 3Ware 9650 and a LSI 8888ELP. I know that ZFS prefers just straight HBAs. I don't necessarily have any plans of trying to flash this card into a Ferrari...unless it's easy and idiotproof to do.
What are your thoughts on the stock SM card for this purpose? Thanks.
ps
I don't want to mess w/an IBM M1015 from EBay as you never know what you're getting. Bad card, bricked, buggy, etc. I like "new with warranty."
