On that point, to Streakwave's defense...they only took a small percentage as a deposit and they take the rest when it ships. They just restrict your right to cancel the shipment I guess. At least they have stock of the 620. I don't know who Tim is using. My usual distributor shipped me the M5-620s by mistake and still had the PBE-5AC-620 on pre-order status so I grabbed some from Streakwave. My usual distributor has let me cancel pre-orders in the past though.
