In my work career many years ago, I learned not to plan on products that were announced but not available. That being said I was at the academy and I did see and touch a beta zeus. But seeing a beta of any product and actually having it in your hands is entirely another thing. I would never plan my display to REQUIRE a new beta product, plus for my own peace of mind I always want to have a backup so I can keep my display up in case of a hardware failure. What if a product wasn't exactly like you thought it would be? I did put my request in for a zeus at the academy but it will be a backup device for me. I have enough SSCs to make my display work without the zeus, and a couple for spare SSCs for backup. Next year I will have lots more I can do since by then the zeus will be well tested. Just my 2 cents.
