Congrats Bryan!
Looks pretty sweet, much nicer than the ply versions.
Any word on an 8x10?

...but what about a 5x7?
Looks to be a fine machine -- could replace my Gowland Pocketview if it needed replecement...weights about the same (2.5 lbs w/ 150mm lens).

An interesting note regarding that - apparently these new "Black" edition cameras are assembled or at least the parts are prepared, and so the lead time is actually less than their normal offering.
Personally I think their issues with getting product out in a timely matter is directly related to their pricing. I think their pricing is about 20-30% too low. Higher price, more profit, less demand, would perhaps even out their production volumes while keeping gross income the same. But I'm just an armchair observer so I could be totally wrong.
For 20-30% more, the delivered quality should also increase. It’s so close to being a very good product, but it’s not and, for many it’s barely acceptable at the current price (YMMV). In other words, all other things equal, I don’t think it would sell 30% less at 30% higher price, but quite less.
Congratulations on your bargain. After you have if for a while, I think a lot of people here would appreciate a review. It may be a great answer for the newbies asking which camera to buy.
