Elektron Musical Instruments

well, i felt pretty lame... i didn't have the $400 during the friend  
offer, so i jumped on this not expecting an additional $1250 over  
what i thought insured domestic shipping would cost.
but standing there with the MD in my hand with the shipper i was  
like, hrm, what do i do at this point? i can't exactly call elektron  
and ask for their advice.  i guess i could have gone home, but  
meanwhile $500 would be missing to no purpose.

the consolations are this 1) it will likely be done much faster, and  
by the people who designed the box... i hope and expect that they  
will go over the thing with a fine toothed comb and not send it back  
with any possible thing going wrong with it anytime soon... and 2)  
they're paying shipping back, though i do not know their cost on  
that.  so likely a good portion of that extra non-friend price covers  
the return shipment.

now for what i picked up the MD used last year, plus this, i could  
haved just (almost) bought a new UW under warranty.. :/  such is the  
life of the gear luster.

i'm glad to hear it cost you the same, not that i wanted it to cost  
so much but just so i know it was a good average price.

so, buyers beware, if you are going to ship to sweden expect a total  
cost of around $650 for the upgrade... in any case, better than  
having one MD and spending 1650 for a UW.  though having two MDs  
would not hurt would it :D
