D&D: Have you used the Duskblade from the PHB II?

So I've skimmed the PBH II, and I like the idea of the Duskblade: a fighter/wizard who is viable from level 1. The problem (from my perspective) is, at first reading the Duskblade seems to emphasize "fighter" far more than "wizard." My question is, to anyone who's played in a game with a Duskblade or just given this more thought than I have, how "wizard-y" does the Duskblade feel in play? Also, is the class able to carry its weight in a party, or is it underpowered? Any other general comments would also be appreciated.

It's great at low levels, but you'll wish you had better spells later in the game.

So it still suffers from the old syndrome of a fighter losing the power battle to casters at higher level?s Would he be any closer to closing the gap between wizard and fighter, say, at Level 20?
