Once they resolved all the vibration issues I have been quite pleased with the Rotems myself.
They offer a much smoother and quieter ride than the K cars.
For example, heading south passed Lynn station on an Express train there is a bump. You barely feel it in the Rotems, but on the K cars you bounce in your seat and I have seen people who were standing get thrown about / fall and catch them selves on the seats or walls. You can feel the thump as the draw bar crashes with the other coaches or engine because it to far out of vertical alignment.
