Did I miss any of the MP40 Takers????


As for the MP 10's I do have information.....The launch of these is actually not expected to be until Sept 1. They have not had any allocated for international orders only USA and those are only Beta testing. we may see these in a pre-release limited quantities prior to Sept but again it will only be limited...like 4-6 units only!!!

I have asked that we be considered for some of the test units in Canada and pre release units. I will post when they are to become available but I can say it wont be for some time. Sorry

Dan

Thanks for looking into it!

I may end up getting a 20 then. I would wait but I leave for Singapore in the fall and would like to enjoy the vortech this summer before I go!

I will let you know.

By the way, I talked to a friend out east who is on a waitlist for the MP10 and the shop he is buying from was also told September, so this isn't a huge surprise

My 20 is going in my 28in. 30g cube. I figure it should be fine in there. Tried my 6080 stream but a bit to much but not lots.

Should be...you can turn it way down if needed. I love the Reef Crest mode!

The only reason I wanted the MP10 was the smaller size and lower price but like I said, I also don't want to get it and then have to leave a month or so later. I would like to enjoy the thing before I go!

But for size we are only talking about 3/4" on the wet side and 1/2" smaller than the 20 on the dry side. Not much at all really.

Well to ease everyones anxiety about the situation. I have spoken to Ecotech International Division and have told them what I was doing and this is only a one time thing. Every product needs to get the ball rolling and this is basically an introduction pricing till May 15th and ONLY pricing for those whos names get posted in this thread for the group buy. Some have PM'd me and asked they not be announced as buying so they do not cause friction between themselves and other possible vendors.

I didnt just do this for the fun of it ...I made sure we could do this...and again it is an MSRP that we will adhere to after the initial group buy has completed. Should Ecotech advance any offers in the future for us we will be sure to pass those on.

Thank you all so far who have ordered. Thanks to Ron for Organizing this group buy.

My intent is to point out that the MAP exists for a reason and while I can appreciate trying to save a few bucks I don't want to see it done at the expense of diminishing a sustainable supply and support for the products locally.

I'll refrain from posting in this thread from here on in because it seems to offend your sensibilities.

Ok, it was addressed by Dan. Lets leave it at that please.
Thanks
