Why are there few postings about G1X and Close-up accessory?

Greetings,

I have been eagerly reading the posts about the G1X. I am a long-time Canon G user and use my G11 to take travel (street) photos as well as food photos. I know that there is a close-up lense/filter that can be attached to the G1X. I am curious as to why current owners have not posted many images using this attachment.

There have been many posts about the lack of macro capability, but since the close-up filter/lense is a potential workaround, I am curious as to why people aren't using that option. Is there something wrong with using the G1X and the Canon Close-up lense/filter?

The image quality with the G1X is quite impressive and I am hoping that the image quality using the close-up lense/filter is maintained. I have considered the Sony NEX-7, but do not wish to carry lenses with me when I travel. I think I am more likely to leave the camera home.

Thank you so much.
