True, C=USA is just struggling to get all products shipped to existing pre-orders.
There is still no logical answer (to me) about why only the most expensive model (ultimate) is being shipped.
If this was about just catching up, then the earliest orders placed would have been filled, imo. In fact, you indicated that would be the process (FIFO). Clearly, from reading the posts on Commodore-Amiga.org, this is not the case.
sourceTypical concern "I'm going to be getting one of the middle price units with the wifi but really want to see when others receive their non ultimate units before ordering."
To the casual observer, putting 2+2 together this looks like either a continued supply shortage (already posted by Barry) or a manpower shortage. If you enjoy the success I believe is possible particularly from the Mike Commodore connection (regardless of how deep the connection runs), then you can see how this will put a greater strain on what is obviously already a strained operation currently.
Feel free to correct me if you think my surface analysis is incorrect.
