New ST8300, inexpensive alternative?

I am sure you all have seen the ads for the new SBig ST8300 for $1995?
This looks like it could be a nice inexpensive alternative to the other 8300 chip based cameras. At this price you can buy the filters and the filter wheel and still be less than the other manufacturers cameras! This could be the buy of the year! 8O
I am considering one of these in Mono, but the filter wheel will not be available until January some time. So, I guess there is not a real hurry. I understand that some of the new 36mm filters are available now though and from most of the filter brands too.
Anyone Pre-Order one of these yet?

Considering the cost of the add-ons, IMO the $2K price for this camera is really not that low. Price in the filters, filter wheel, shutter, and OAG, and compare it to what QSI offers. Then consider the build quality of the housing.
