I'm a realist, a pragmatist and not given to absolutes. This machine is a dream theme, created via the kind of company for which I love to root and support, it has way cool features that I've seen on no other game, but, there's no way I can say "No matter what" when I'm spending all the spare money I've ever had.
My guess is the very strong probability (90%+) is that things proceed as they have, SkitB keeps up their long precedent of awesomeness, and I complete my purchase. But I'm not someone who can shrug off $500 let alone $5000. I'm deep in the queue and if 50% of the owners ahead of me are reporting production issues and lacking game play there's no way I can commit.
