I was saying in another thread that it can only be win-win if they sell it to you at cost at the time of purchase so that it’ll save them a lot of future shipping costs back and forth for subsequent adjustments or firmware updates. It’ll probably save them time as well because you’ll most likely end up doing more of the adjustments yourself instead of them having to spend the time and do it for you remotely.
The only issue I see is whether they really have enough supply of these devices to sell at cost to their customer or not.
