I'll also reserve judgement until the route is actually complete.

I don't think that's necessary. The BRT is broken in a number of ways, regardless of how well the phase 2 route works:
- No offboard payment, so boarding is done slowly and only at one door.
- Key stops/stations (Graham Mall, Osborne Station) don't allow for passing, leading to delays and bus bunching
- Arrivals boards are laughably unreliable, when they're not broken/out of service
And, of course, there's the fact that the existing stations lack proper heating (either no enclosed shelters, or heaters hung so high that they do nothing)... and the fact that a big stretch of the downtown segments have slow light cycles (Hargrave Station, Main turning onto Graham), or lack priority lanes...
