I've seen some photos of this plant around over the years, never grown one though, and am not really sure exactly what it is. There are some aspects of it which suggest it's a true dwarf of a Sucrier/Pisang Mas cultivar, but also some questionable traits. I used to believe it was just another Cavendish sport, but I'm not so sure about that now after seeing his video, if it is, it lost some key distinguishing traits of Cavendish. It doesn't help that the video shows a number of totally different cultivars before showing the actual plant they are selling, and the actual plant they show is less than adequate for a proper ID. This might be a job for genotyping: Musa genotyping centre | Centre of Plant Structural and Functional Genomics (http://olomouc.ueb.cas.cz/musa-genotyping-centre)

Thanks Gabe, your input sure helped me decide. I thought my plant list was done but I'm adding this.

Isn't it funny how your plant lists evolves over time? That dwarf plant in the video looks like a good one.
