I've used a similar package.  The issue I have seen have been the solder tails the pitch was not consistent.  The oblong pads work best you may need to adjust the pad size to compensate for the pitch offset.

Subject: Re: [TN] Samtec SEAMArray connector

  Ioan,

We have used it some and we have had very little trouble. We do not use 
it on active part numbers right now. We have had trouble with Samtec 
connectors similar to this one, but not with the SEAM series. It was a 
long and thin connector. It had  twist and bow issues. Samtec solved my 
problem by reinforcing it. They are very responsive like that.  My big 
complaint with Samtec is the Kapton SMT Pad Samtec uses on this SEAM and 
other connectors. It is often too small and the PnP nozzle does not get 
good suction. The Kapton will also move when the connector is turned in 
the Q axis. If you have chuck nozzles then you will probably be OK.
