To be clear, Alpha X will remain a current product, it's not being discontinued. It offers a lighter total package, even if you add the tilt kit. And as you pointed out, if you don't need tilt, it is quite a bit less expensive. Regarding the price with/without extensions, the Alpha One pricing only includes extensions as a pre-order bonus (we did the same thing with Alpha X when it was first launched). That bonus will disappear once the bars are a regularly-stocked product.

For many customers, Alpha One may be a much better value proposition, and more attractive for their needs. That's why we developed it in the first place. But others still love Alpha X. We continue to sell lots of them, and we have no plans to stop.

Regarding new orders, we do think we can still meet new preorders with our first production batch, yes. So the estimate you see is still the estimate for a new order.

Thanks for all the interest, everyone! We are VERY excited to finally put these in customers' hands.
