Ok, wanted to update everyone with an email I received from Sam about the confusion with the pre-order number versus the order number.  Looks like my place in line is, just like was being said before in this forum, based on the pre-order number.  Mine is 1700+ for a 1-500 Jupiter, but I guess there hasn't been a lot of paying customers so my order should still be within the first few days of shipping.

This will be good news for anyone who has a pre-order number above 1700 or didn't pre-register for the 1-500.
