I'm generally well-disposed towards it, but it's obviously imperfect because I think the whole usual Protestant approach to the idea of the primacy of Scripture is flawed. I prefer to look at Scripture and Tradition as an organic process which Reason and Experience inform.

I'm an Adventist, so it makes a lot of sense to me.  I agree with Nathan that I personally (despite some disagreements with my church) look first to Scriptures as the basis for all else, then to tradition.  However, I believe reason and experience are extremely valuable in order to validate your faith.

I think you might be misunderstanding my position slightly. I don't look to Scriptures as the basis for all else so much as I view the Bible as a part of Holy Tradition, which is also informed by reason and experience. I don't view them as intrinsically separate sources because I view each as reliant on the other three.

Experience is removed from the Episcopal version. 

The Hooker version, yeah. Wesley came after Hooker. It really depends on what Anglican you talk to.
