I get the irony. It is not like Ferrari's first Automobile was absolute junk. Indeed, they did improve over time. However, the first one at the time really wanted for nothing. Here, he formally goes into business in 2020. He brings to the table years of experience. Just as Enzo Ferarri did. I am still not lost on your point. Everyone must start somewhere. I can vouch that every last thing that I purchased was of very good if not outstanding fit and finish. Once again, he is not assembling anything. The end user is. He is supplying parts. Still, those parts must obviously mate properly. Notwithstanding that the end user assembles them properly. Given that both are correct, which in my case I was rather pleased with the outcome. It should not really matter his year of "incorporation". The entire package is rather pricey and I am not easily impressed. This was honestly not bad at all. In fact it was quite good.
I would honestly rather have gone wit Norbaforce. He never made anything for 108 keys. He also never intended to. Now, his shop is long since closed. Given that, this guy seems to be the new game in town. I am not going to recommend him. Simply because this stuff can vary. What I received did the trick for me at least. I am a self proclaimed stickler for quality. This is one of those moments I wish that AT&T had not screwed me out of a phone. I did exaggerate about price of a car. It is more than the keyboard itself however if you get everything that he offers. I am keen that it is DIY because that does cut cost way down. I am happy with it but for a myriad of reasons I am not going to vouch for something like that. It is at someones own discretion.

pow, I love your Avatar! I will not say how many cats are here because it will start a flame war against me. They all are taken outstanding care of. I know I am just giving my word but many people would vouch for me. I have 3 full time employees(cats) and a full time Veterinarian. I am not kidding. Those are not the only animals though. We, well there is only one of us left live on Thousands of Acres.
Anyhow back on topic. I do not think much is going to be said about this though. If anyone wanted to spend the money I think it is very nice. In no way does it make the keyboard any better. Except perhaps BKE. Which is really just a matter of taste. All this really does is bring a Topre up to where most custom MX boards are. Although if you figure the price of a high end custom MX board the PFU limited 108 plus all his mods and BKE is not far off from the price. So I think perhaps that is a viable alternative in Topre. If one is unhappy with a plastic case. Although if you get the Ivory the case is AES which is nothing to sneeze at. Besides in general a R2 will almost always outlast any MX board.
One weird thing. The PFu Limited is stiffer than a 45G uniform. I replaced it with BKE light and extra light on the pinkies anyway. I find the spacers to be terrible. YMMV.
