Well we will have to wait and see what the price is from Independent. I have a foot in both camps, both points of view are valid.
Having said that I was going to buy an Ultra in the past, I know things have changed, but I just couldn't bring myself to order one from Independent. At the time it was about $3,300 (I can't remember that exact figure, it was about that) and I had to wait minimum over a month. If I lived in New Zealand I could buy direct from Fractal, or I could have used a broker, completely legally, warranty intact, and had it shipped to me within a few days for around $2300AUD.
Flame away if you will but with a difference of over a grand It's hard to see how I was getting a fair go.
