Does anyone out there have one of the new machines offered by Smithy with the Siemens controller?

That new VMC425 looks pretty sweet. Wonder how much it is?
Of course I just looked for the YouTube video on it and it's gone!
Yeah it popped up on my YouTube feed- there are 3 videos. Then suddenly they vanished. Try googling vmc425 and maybe there's a cached version somewhere
Hey, this sort if stuff happens even with big computer-savvy companies like Apple too. They build a new product release page and accidentally make it go live a week before the announcement.
Probably the same thing; Smithy is going to add yet ANOTHER cnc product to their stable, and accidentally posted it before they were ready. Which is really bad for business, since now there are a handful of people who were going to buy their 1036 cnc mill, but now decided to wait for the new VMC. Which still might be months away. Osborne effect?
I did some alibaba searches, as well as went to the homepage of the company who apparently makes their current machines, and couldn't find any reference to the VMC425 (they have a VMC320 and VMC400).

I'm interested in the 425 too I haven't contacted them yet. I see on their website they have 3 other sizes not highlighted though so I guess they are in the works. I'm in Calgary Alberta so I'm wondering about shipping / duty I know there will be gst. I also would like to know the minimum height to bring it into he garage I'm at 82" for clearance so should be ok.
