Your concerns are certainly valid and reasonable. What I would suggest is to buy the UMC-1 since assuming the bugs get ironed out nothing anywhere near that price point can come close. Plus you have 30 days to decide. BUT, I think it would be nice if Dan or Lonnie can make a post to clarify the issue about whether the 30 day trial starts now or when the firmware finally gets fixed to the point where they feel it is reasonable. Because if it is the latter, then you have nothing to worry about. You will just be out the freight if you decide to return it, which is about $20 or so. [/quote]
Unless you are out of CONUS, then there is a significant hit on returning the UMC. For us in Canada it is $156 for shipping, brokerage, taxes, duties etc. You can get the duties refunded, BUT it is darn near impossible to get the rest. And if it is for "warranty" work, we pay the shipping AGAIN both ways (at that price we are paying 1/2 the TOTAL cost for the UMC on the shipping back for warranty). Thank heaven I am not in China or Saipan or Australia.
