While it will be nice to get these as soon as possible, my understanding is that these are not not yet ready to ship out yet. So there is no gain from hurrying right now and closing out earlier.
Has this status changed?
The unknown here is ASICMiner's order queue. Presumably they're taking orders right now, so our place in line is not set. How many will they ship in the first batch, and how quickly will that batch go out? Being the 1st order in line or the 10th may make a large difference in shipment date or it may make none at all. Clearly the faster we close this out and submit the order, the better.
