I "pre ordered" a new GK MB112 Combo from MF. They have it for $299.99 w/ free shipping. I got another 15% off because they will match GC's 15% off anything $299.00 and up Labor Day coupon deal. It ended up being around $255.00 and no tax. It will ship on the 9th, so they say...
MF and GC are now both claiming availability for the 112 at the end of November. In the year 2010, I think. I think I'll wait until they've been out a year.
I have an MB112 on pre-order from MF, nobody seems to have these available at the moment. MF says end of November but as others have noted that date is highly suspect. I looked for an MB212 for about 9 months before I was able to actually purchase one. The date kept slipping and I got so pissed off I went and bought a combo rig from another manufacturer. It was really good too, so I figured I was done and wrote off GK altogether. Then I finally got to play an MB212. I bought it on the spot and sold the other rig the next day...it was THAT good. So this time I'm going to wait quietly for my MB112, I wouldn't even consider another brand after working with my 212 for the last 6 months.
