It’s a $100 pre-order, one that you can back out of at any time and receive a full refund. There isn’t any risk to this process. Until payment is made in full, you have paid for absolutely nothing. Either you are interested enough to pre-order or you aren’t. It’s unfair criticism to (deliberately or not) portray FW as somehow obfuscating specs to goose sales. Dollars to donuts FW hasn’t even made the decision which series to go with, it’s the only logical reason why they wouldn’t publish specs.
