mft/3 availability

[hammurtime]

I see that the MKT/3 is coming in May. Is it going to be in the States in May or will the dealers start to place orders in May? I've just bought my first festools but am holding off purchasing a table,which is being discontinued and will not match up with the newer tables. Thanks...

Timmy and other dealers,  Are there any display 1080's out there for sale?  I asked the manager at local Rockler store what was to become of his MFT's when the MFT/3 becomes available and he had no idea they were being discontinued.  (surprise, surprise)  Anyhoo,  I'd like to get a hold of one (or 3) if I could to save some $.  My guess is they'll be offered to employees or friends before the general public gets a chance at one.

The supply of MFT 1080s is very limited. If you are really wanting them, then don't agonize over $50 to $100.
I decided the multiple MFTs were going to be the key area, most used tools in my 1-aisle garage shop. Prioritize accordingly.
If you can get free shipping, that is a big discount for a 80+ pound package.

alg,  that's why I was hoping for local pickup.....there are 2 woodcrafts and 2 rocklers within driving distance of my digs.  Additionally,  the display units, at least at Rockler, are demos.  They're used.  More discount there.
