I did the same thing. However, unless Rick denies it, it's possible that those of us showing a great deal of interest in the E3D product line forced him into pushing up the release date of the MakerGear v4 and the dual extruder. After all, it's not an official release; he's getting us to be beta testers. And, frankly, I think that's the best business strategy for this sort of thing. It benefits us, and it benefits them.
I do not believe any company with a 5 star rating on Amazon is going to be pushed into anything
except for product improvements as time allows.

It's a great deal to have an upgraded machine that makes customer loyalty a given.

I purchased my M2, because of the Amazon reviews and I'm glad, happy, thrilled to have
rapid prototyping in-house. Product jimc is helping me with ...is almost to version 5 done in a short time span.
Going the conventional route of SLAs, I'd be lucky to be on version 2.

Rick, can we order additional v4 hot ends with different nozzle diameters together with the upgrade kit?
