These are still available at Cointaker for $12500; there is still a $1k deposit, and a waiting list about 8 months long, last I checked a couple of months ago. (I know there was a planned price increase to $13k, which may be in effect now.)
Either way, the decision boils down to whether the extra $5500 to $6k "FOMO Tax" is worth it.
Get it now for $18.5k, done.
Or, be patient! Order through Cointaker at MSRP and wait for delivery next year; in the meantime use the $6k you save to pick up a nice machine to tide you over and scratch the new pin itch until Lebowski shows up (there are still some NIB Pro models out there with advertised prices at roughly $6k).
