Quoted from Jokerman:Hey guys,
Been offered a low number (<20) by distro for my UMCE. As this is my first Spooky, would you accept or wait to see if any issues?
Thoughts appreciated…
Kinda depends on your tolerance and willingness to be a beta tester.
I'm 123, and frankly, that's sooner than I want based on personal experience. I've been near the front of the line both with Spooky and with another small manufacturer, and both were serious headaches. As was the case for a ton of early R&M owners.
Not saying you should give it up per se, but expect to be part of the group helping troubleshoot early issues. This may be for you, but I personally hate being part of the "test" group. I find it hard enough finding time to play, much less fix ongoing issues that crop up in my collection. I personally don't have time to be fixing early build issues. It typically just leads to my game being down/playing poorly for more time than it should, until I get time to resolve things. YMMV
