REMO is a great brand and very reliable-
this Djembe in particular I've owned for quite a few years; it's sturdy and it's gone through many a catastrophe (road trips, drum circles, gigs, friends and kids trying to hit a beat on it)... it's still in great condition
Also, I really enjoy the sound of the 12 inch. It's in a very nice medium range, but you can still get amazing bass and tenor tones.
As far as portability, it's not THAT heavy but for traveling you might be better off getting a djembe carrying case (fits on like a back pack, I'm pretty sure REMO makes them specifically for their djembesj)...
And it's aesthetically pleasing- the variation of tribal designs are connotative of their African derivative and culture.
All in all, these djembes (at any size) are a great buy for percussionists playing at any level...
You'll know it's worth it the very first time you play it.

I loved my traditional djembe, but I hated carrying and transporting it, and tuning it was more than a workout, especially when I wanted to play, not tune. And then there is replacing a head, a pain-staking process.

Now this thing sounds at least as good, weighs a third of the traditional, and I've yet to have to replace a head, no matter how tight I like it stretched. I stretch it in minutes with a key, and If I had to replace a head, it would take minutes, not days.
