Thanks.
I have been emailing BFL on this and while it's true that one can "upgrade" a Jalapeno order for a Little SC, it seems that upgrading any orders under 4 Jals will reset one's place in the order queue.
For those such as myself who ordered a couple Jals early, this puts us between a rock and a hard place. Bumped specs for the Jal are seriously lagging those of the other models, yet to upgrade to a Little SC would put one at the very end of the massive pre-order list, thus killing the value of a pre-order with numerous alternatives available. I am currently asking about refunds given the sudden shift in specs and options.
Too bad, but wait another day or so, unless you are in a hurry to order elsewhere. I had a 4 Jalapeno and a 2 Jalapeno order, was able to update the 4 J's to a little single and keep the August order date, and leave the 2 J. order intact, but while waiting for the exact amount for shipping internationally for the Little Single, BFL changed the update policy a bit, into my favor. May be into yours too, if you had multiple machines on order? How many J's were ordered by you?
