Future Impact now available!! WAS: deep impact reissue!!! interested?

When I bought it, I believe it was 399 Euro including VAT + shipping. So for me, (399 - VAT + shipping)*exchange rate + Paypal conversion fees (including a few bucks lost by the fact that they refunded the VAT instead of taking it off the initial price, so I got dinged on the conversion twice on that amount) wound up to be about $395 USD at the time. Then I got the TNT bill which I believe was for about $38.

Somehow mine ended up being around $440 I believe. Just to clarify, I'm not bitter or trying to bad mouth them for putting their pedal on sale. That's totally fine and a couple friends are finally jumping in now. It's just that usually these things happen when a company is liquidating stuff for a new model. I don't know if that's actually what's happening, just hoping we would be the first to know if it is.

If I'm right about VAT vs. non-VAT, as I said, I think it's a pretty minimal sale.
 
I had already been panning on buying the FI at some point. Maybe now would be a good time.

Can a New Order- Blue Monday or Depeche Mode- Everything Counts bass sound be achieved with the FI? From clips I've heard it would seem possible but I wonder how well it would trigger/track with faster staccato lines.
