well I bought my Samflex@800 this past summer before the X1000 announcement and I'm very happy with it especially after the major update release; however, I would think potential Sam owners now are waiting to hear the official price announcement and availability of the X1000 ...A-Eon and Hyperion have stated time and time again that the X1000 will be 'high end' and thus will keep ACube sales going I assume.
