ok, so it turns out that texaserider is making major modifications to the controller hardware after taking inventory from germany… which means taking a risk on relatively unproven technology when compared to the Oxygen MB50. unless I can find myself a decent tech in Santa Monica willing to work on it should anything arise, I’m thinking to err on the side of caution. ( I am NOT willing to pay shipping to Texas every time there’s a problem.. )

all the same, i’ve put my name on the list to get called back when they start shipping. there’s no obligation to buy, and it secures me a lower price, so why not. give me time to broaden my horizons and see what else is out there in the meantime.
