Open letter to RED; what should I do regarding Stage 2?

[Mark Phelan]

Give up your Stage Two reservation, get your $5,000 deposit back and be happy. You haven't lost anything. There is no que for you to lose. You have an Epic M and a Red One. Keep them both or sell the R1, what's the big deal? Do you need two Epics? If so, buy the Epic X and sell the R1 afterwards. Again, what's the big deal? If you don't have the money to buy the Epic X now that you have an Epic M, who cares? You already have the camera in hand, albeit a more expensive version that allowed you to play now, pay later. Seems like you made your choice a while ago. Enjoy it.

I believe what you'd end up spending on the Stage 2 Epic-X you could easily sell your Red One MX for (or pretty close to it), so there really isn't any cost in getting the Epic-X if you were to sell your Red One. You just have to come up with the money in the interim until you sell the Red One AFTER taking delivery of your Stage 2 Epic-X. Honestly it seems like a no-brainer to me.

Life is so tough for someone... hopefully the spoon didn't leave severe damage...

Not cool, Jesper.

You'd be best not to assume anything around these parts. You know nothing of anyone's situation.

Best to keep your uninformed opinions to yourself, mate.
