I'm in the same boat. Although waiting almost a year for a new jig saw is going to be tough. I hope it's EARLY summer. I can't stand how long it takes things to be approved here in the US. It's a jigsaw for crying out loud, not a ballistic missile.
I will wait, what's another 7-10 months with my POS porter cable that's 10 years old and blows dust up in my face.
