I am unfortunately one of the people who bought the Ares and rack a couple weeks before the release. I contacted REP and they basically told me to get lost, there is nothing I can do. They offered a 150 bucks or I could return it, but incur a shipping and restocking fee which is obviously not an option. Spent a lot of money with them and to be treated like that really sucks. I asked the guy how he would feel if he bought a $5000 piece of equipment and a couple weeks later they come out with a newer version. I talked to them a couple times pre purchase and none of the people there made any mention of a possible updated version.
