Is anyone, besides me, thinking of buying the new ReefBot Lab?

Tomorrow (11/7) is the last day for a 20% pre-order discount. Based on a recent R2R thread on ICP vs. hobbyist test kits, I'm no longer enamored with ICP testing. (That thread also digresses into a very interesting discussion of Iron in the reef tank. BTW, ICP can't test for Iron with any accuracy.)
As I see it, the advantages of the ReefBot Lab test instrument are little or no variation due to testing errors, the fact that one can get readings performed at the same time of day (very important for Alk testing and for not having one's static dosing schedule influence any time independent tests), and the ability to divest myself of all of my test kits, checker tests, and my already owned ICP test mail-ins.
All I have left is to figure out whether or not I can test for Iron with it.
I'd appreciate your thoughts...
