Even if the LEs are sold out, you can buy a standard NIB for 8k (which is the exact same, minus a real wood bottom..lol and a shaker that can be added for ~200). The real hook here is that you can have it now vs waiting for months to get your standard. To some that may be worth a couple hundred. I don't see the problem either way. GLWS OP.

I thought I had read somewhere that both the LEs and the Standards were going to get the color DMD? Anyway, I'll bet its included in the end. They are going to need to create an incentive to sell the standards at 8k. As for the trim, I suppose if you prefer the powder coated trim that's a plus. Personally speaking, I prefer the stainless in this case.
