I don't see any problem with it at all. Sounds like the weather conditions deteriorated en-route, he made the right call.

There was a lot made of this when the story first broke, but actually the pilot did what he was legally required to do.

He could have made the landing of course. His ability to land the aircraft in IMC was never in question. It was only his certification on THAT model and hence his LEGAL ability to land the aircraft under IMC that was the issue.
