Jay,
There will be a select few who might be upset (as they have been with every manufacturer

and their updates and revisions), but in the long run they will be happy with what they are building. Why, simple, because they are experience the build of a dream from the ground (kit) up. My MK 3.1(currently in New England and working it's way back to me) is no less a replica because it does not have any of the newest upgrades(it has some, but those where before FFR offered them as a package), it's just an earlier version, as it was for my original MK I, MK 1.5, MK 2, MK2.5, MK III and all others that have come in between.

PS: Can't wait for my first MK IV, maybe later this year
