The last conversion I heard of was on Jan 22nd, but for the most part a rash of us who got on it when it first reopened on the 21st were the lucky few. However, that isn't to say you won't have luck. Waitlists for rices have convert months after the last ones as guys get impatient and cancel their Waitlist figuring there is no hope and get the Regular. Now I am not saying yours will, but if anyone who got on the Waitlist, converted, and then flex payed this... Well if the default you could get lucky. In the end if the Reg had a lower ES I might advise you to leap NOW, but you MAY have some time to play with before it sells out. However, I would keep an eye on the boards and on the product page waiting for a Low Quality alert, because I have a feeling when the "Less then 100" warning comes up... Well let's just say I think SSC will have $40 000 worth of orders in a few hours.
Well you will pay about $440 with shipping if I am not mistaken and get $20 in reward points... You MAY be able to get a better deal from one of the online retailers, but I would hazard a guess that you will have an even bigger hassle getting replacement parts if you go that route. You could also check a Local Dealer, and you may pay more then SSC direct, but at least you get to inspect it prior to picking it up, and there is something comforting in that. If you go that route, try and talk the dealer down, and understand that when they ordered they probably got a hefty discount, so if you are paying a huge markup over the $400 retail at SSC they are trying to fleece you....lol.
Edit: the best deal I have seen as of late was at the wbshop ... About $359.99 with free shipping, but no surprise he is currently out of stock, but you can sign up for an email alert for if he comes back into stock.
I'm just gonna wait for the reg, I have no hope on the EX.
