Looks like DI already has their pre-order up and running for the iBrid. The DLX kit is $569.99 (short neck) and the L DLX kit is $598.99 (long neck). :blink:

You definitely aren't alone bud. I blame everyone saying, "$500 seems like a fair price" in the release thread. I don't think everyone realizes the buying power of these forums. Oh well, more money I can spend on another gun.
 
I figured it'd be way more than I'd be willing to spend, as a hobbyist. If I was a pro, I'd be first in line though.
 
Tough call for hobbyists, but pros can make the $ back after one or two correction jobs. Seems like a very neat tool/system, I really want the new Flex long throw that's coming out so the ibrid will have to wait for now.
 
Wow. DI scooped AG and Autopia on it!

Say what you will about the $500+ price point and what effect forum speculation had on it - but I'll guarantee Rupes' accountants had all of that figured out a long time ago...

Yup. Anybody that thought this was gonna come in at less than $500-$550 is high
 
That's been on DI for a while so I bought Gift Certificates from ACC when they had them on sale - knocked the price down a fair amount. But yeah, it's pretty high up there. It was tempting to get something else as a dedicated small polisher but thinking about the kit and the ease of no cords was too hard to pass up.

yea I started a thread a few weeks ago about this.

patiently waiting with my GC's for ACC's presale ordering

I would consider myself a hobbyist as well, but I have so many uses for this tool even around my new house. I can use this more than I can use a new Mark II that is for sure and I held off on the mini because I have the megs DA adapter and it works ok for when I need it...this ibird will replace the need to use that tool anyways.
 
Yeah, I've been calling it by both names. I also call the Rupes three inch polisher the Mini even though it's real name is 75e or something. I guess the Nano is the new Mini. I've quit trying to remember names after Menzerma renamed their line again.
