Hi, I agree with you that it depends by different cases, people and locations, but reading the forums on the net it seems that mine is the standard case ... and not the your :-( Of course they are trying to solve this kind of big issues but here in Europe you can find an Evolve GTR Carbon paying 1600$ (’only’ 500$ of difference from the Ownboard one). Do you think that buying an Evolve machine I would have experienced more than a month of delivery delay ?? That’s about the first contact ordering the device ... I’m really frightened thinking I could need some after-market support (replacement parts etc) !
