Anyone here waiting for these puppies to come out ? I know I cant wait for them. What do you guys think of them?

I think i am going to get the 5000, unless someone else comes out cheaper and and faster.

Wow that looks pretty schmick, is it just one carbon fibre panel on the lid or is there another on the underside?

They shoulded moulded the whole thing outta carbon fibre/kevlar i reckon.

What price would one be expected to pay for it?
