Whens the next group buy?
Elton is very busy at the moment with the Orion V2 GB and afterwards probably another Lightsaver round. So I'd guess even if there is enough demand the group buy still wont start before Q4 2015
An even better question is when should we expect that V2 Viper/Eagle to be released.
Hopefully with the Orion V2 style acrylic bottom!
The main thing that turned me off from the original Viper GB is the keyboard angle.
I'd hope a new version can have the acrylic part to have a reduced typing angle.
+2 for Viper with 7° acrylic bottom!
Edit: Not sure if it would require a redesign of the case as it seems to be a single piece design atm.
On the other hand a two piece case could also include a proper plate mount. (with the plate mounted to the case, instead of the pcb mounted to the case and the plate floating free on the switches poker style)
To me a real plate mount seems like a much cleaner solution, and I always feel like the free floating poker plates tend to have a bell like effect. (So I honestly don't think of poker as plate mount, to me poker is a pcb mount + plate support pretty much, considering you could even assemble without plate)
