 Anyone want to buy an APEX and an RKE...  I was looking at a brochure at one of the LFS, not a huge amount of info but it's looking good IMHO.

After talking to Pro line and being told to talk directly to Vertex, that's what I did. They got back to me a few days ago saying beta's would be going out after Interzoo...so they are almost a year behind now. I was hoping to buy one of these for my new tank but even at the slow pace I'm going...they won't be ready. plus if their timing is so off...you have to wonder about their pricing suggestions.

The pricing won't be off.
In any case, the delays are due to redundancy and component testing. Hope that offers some clarity

Just to clarify as I've received a couple pm's already, neither the apex nor rke can be sold until I get a cerebra to replace them, they're both currently managing Systems
