Experience using C Corp and pursuing QSBS for SMB acquisition?

Has anyone made this decision in order to be able to take advantage of QSBS capital gains tax exemptions, vs. using a pass-through entity?  Would love to compare notes with you if so.  Considering this for business currently under LOI.

One really important variable to consider here is is if QSBS will be around by the time you exit. This tax exemption has had a bullseye on it from legislators before and we are always one congress away from that changing.
