I have a Tavor SAR and I absolutely love it, despite some of it's cons.

If you do get one and it ends up becoming a favorite, I would highly recommend taking the IWI Tavor Operator classes.
I did the Tavor 1 and it's totally worth it.


Pros:
The weight is biased rearward so it's more comfortable to hold and shoot over longer periods of time without tiring as quickly.
One handed operation is great. holding on to loved ones, calling 911 with offhand all easily done while still keeping the rifle up.
It's very reliable and easy to maintain
You can get several points of contact on it for solid good stability when shooting standing/kneeling.
The bullpup design is great for moving around in enclosed places, opening doors, shooting around corners, etc..
There's conversion kits for 300blk and 9mm. I got a 300blk setup on it now and plan to take it hog hunting someday.
It can fit in a nondescript tennis racket sized bag


Cons:
The manual of arms is different than an AR. SAR mag changes take practice, but I can do it as fast or faster than with an AR platform. Its not as different on the X95 with respect to the magazine release design change. Also charging handle is relocated on the X95 vs SAR.
The stock trigger and trigger pack (on a SAR, I've heard its better on X95) is pretty heavy with a lot of travel.
Height over barrel is more obvious. Just something to be aware of when shooting around obstacles and at range.
Speaking of range, while it can hit things at distance, it seems to take more practice/effort compared to AR platform.
The straight stock on the Tavor can be a challenge for cheek weld and may also interfere with ear protection (depending on type).

Other accessories I would suggest along with it:

* Geissele lightning bow trigger. I'd say this even for an X95
* Geissele trigger pack, a must for SAR.
* A good sling (I like the savvy sniper)
* Manticore ARClight forend for a sweet looking internal light setup.
