There doesn't seem to be a lot of content here.
Questions that would need to be answered:
* Better integration with what?
* Faster - as measured by?  How much faster?  Will this remain when it
is feature-complete?
* Less memory - again, as measured by?  How much less?  Will this remain
when it is feature-complete?
* What features does it lack?

And additionally:
* How responsive is upstream?  
* How quickly are bugs fixed?
* Is upstream likely to be robust?
* Security flaws?

Without answers to these questions there's really nothing to discuss.
If you can provide some answers to these questions, there's a discussion
to be had and the tradeoffs can be weighed.  Otherwise there's no data,
and the discussion will revolve solely around posters objections to
Mono.
