I was after one.....grrrr. Now they build them i'm not game to ask for another xmas present. As Deb bought me a 2970 last year i might just pay off a bit more on the Mastercard for this one and sneak it past her into the car and when she finally asks about it...."had it for ages"....lol. Saving grace is she hates my Ford so much she rarely gets in it.

Hey Hyperno, I've done that same thing a whole bunch of times. My motto is "it's easier to get forgiveness than it is permission"....

Something stinks in Denmark here. Best part of 3 years after the announcement and only to be told will be in LIMITED supply. Sorry Sam you have lost a potential customer here. I'll stick with Ranger...at least i can buy their products.

To me it seems to long also. Over 2 years. I know Rangers 2970 are very good. But I want to know is the the S9 175 watt really worth the wait? Or should I get a new Ranger 2970?

I did Big m, i waited and waited....... Lost interest after the due date was put back time and time again. So the wife bought me a 2970DX through Copper last xmas and it has performed beyond my expectations. Had Copper do all the bonuses to it....perfect. An added plus is for those who have a licence is it does 12, 11 and 10 meters. Up to you as what you want to do.
