@Norton posted:Those using the argument against buying a Z4000 due to unavailability of parts, do you realize you can't get parts for 5 year old Lionchief engines or two year old Legacy engines and both of those are likely to fail sooner than a Z4000. Best hope is for a third party to come along with replacements.

Couldn't have said that better Pete. Anyone who has ever operated with a Z4K transformer knows their worth and operability. Give me two Z4K's any day to one ZW-L, for about the same money. The fact that the Z4K still sells for 75% or more of msrp on the used market speaks to it's lasting value. Sure, future support is unknown and may quite possibly be non-existent. But if there is enough demand, someone will set up shop to service them, main board notwithstanding. I am pretty sure that my three Z4K's will outlast me, and if not I would purchase a good used one without a second thought. Think about it; any of us will cheerfully pay $400 plus for a new iphone, ipad, or Apple watch, and Apple pretty much guarantees you that it will be obsolete in 2-3 years! 
Just my opinion of course, and for anyone who is nervous about owning a Z4K, go your own way, and I hope it works out!
