Just doing my part to be helpful
I've been thinking about how early to get my E, and part of me (that dam logical side) says to wait a bit so they can work out any early production bugs/glitches. Then there's the emotional side that is just slapping the hell out of the logical side saying "Are you kidding? I want it NOW!"
You may want to try "I'm all in" for $100 non-refundable so you at least are in and not break your pocket book. that way you don't have to wait for long time.
