    Oh, I'm not dismissing it, far from it in fact. I'm going to wait to see the specs and find out how it performs in the real world before passing judgement. If it can outperform other tools then those drawbacks are something that can be lived with, if it's only "as good" then those things bear more weight (no pun intended) in the decision making process of which tool to use. That's all I was getting at.

    I also look forward to seeing actual side by side in use reviews from some independent detailers.

    As part of the marketing launch, it would make sense to approach some detailers to do side by side in the same other companies do when launching products that can get some use on it.

    You should buy one and do a review of it on all the forums you post on. That way you can de-Bunky any rumors instead of just make them. I bet lots of people trust what you say as a professional?

    Barry went out of his way to have the machine overnighted just so everyone can have a sneak peak. While others choose to complain about what info has been released, I want to say thank you to Barry.

    I was a UDM 1.0 (s/n 171) early adopter. I had planned on getting the Griots this year if anything due to the warranty. The more choices the better.

    From what I gather, it's a Chinese made machine. I personally have not had great luck with anything made in China.

    Why would it be hard to believe? Tunch is in Turkey/China, Juan is in China, and as soon as they are back in the office tuesday PM or wednesday AM they will give one of us the specs to post and on the website as well. Can you please wait a few days?

    David, I think the issue is mainly that Ben said in that thread the information posted was a preliminary version and that the packaging/etc. had been revised since. If someone can confirm those are in fact the final and accurate numbers it would clear up any confusion (I think that's what Thomas is saying will have to wait until Tuesday/Wednesday).

    Regardless, I think real-world testing is what will tell the most important part of the story and obviously, it's too soon for that yet.
