So a quick review
1. Stab inserts are garbage and replacing them with cherry ones along with cherry bars is EZ, the milk stab holder can still be used just fine
2. Large amount of features makes this board very impressive and sad that we pretty much will never see a revision 2
which leads me to 3
3. The board is impressive, and from a hobbyist perspective it is great board, easy to repair, scratch resistant, hot swap, programmable, etc etc. But if I was someone who was new to all this and wanted a "cool keyboard", this is not that keyboard. You are on the hook for all programming and repair. The no soldering part does not mean this is not a enthusiast board.
4. HALO clear switches are not worth all the fuss that went into the IC/MD drama. They are not terrible and the typing experience feels vintage. Already I can say that if heavy tactile switches are your thing, Kaihua Speed burnt orange (not BOX, though those are also good and hard to get) are super cheap and provide a better experience; they are hiding in plain sight. though this is only my opinion.
I have some HALO True's coming in also so maybe those are the god like switches the community put pitch forks out for.
