I've only ever pre-ordered one (L or M) product. I made the pre-order through a dealer (as some suggest), and many months before it arrived, I asked the dealer if I could cancel my order and was told that I would be "hosing him" which seems odd based on the volume they seem to move. Prior to that I had purchased existing inventory from that dealer and was generally happy. But as has been stated, nothing but sour thoughts and feeling every time I think of that specific pre-order experience.
It should be noted that I have pre-ordered many 3rd rail products and those were always positive experiences.
