Sorry to revive this old thread, but I'm currently looking for a 2nd ergodox, and have a bit of input & a question to add.
I have a Ergodox Infinity that I built with 65g zealios. I have found this version to be quite high build quality. I was surprised to actually appreciate and use the LED panels to keep track of things, and look forward to hacking on them to make them more useful (command mode indicator for vim maybe?). I also thought I would hate the acrylic case, and I surprisingly don't. I lug this thing from work to home and back daily, and this case hasn't even taken a single scratch or divot. Assembly was incredibly easy and rewarding, and I'm garbage at soldering.
However, before I purchased this one, I bought a wooden b-stock case from Falba because I had originally planned on replacing the ugly acrylic with a fancy wood case, and I didn't care about a few holes in the wood and such. Obviously, this case doesn't match the infinity, and modifying it is too daunting because it's pretty fragile. I was actually surprised at how imprecise and flimsy the wooden case feels. I'm not sure if that goes away upon assembly, but I'm reticent to finish building out the original Ergodox because I'm worried that it will be wobbly. That being said, Falba was amazing to deal with otherwise. The site is a little clunky and confusing for a first-timer, but the packaging, communication, timing and selection (with the exception of switches) was pretty great .
Anyway, I'm tired of lugging this infinity back and forth, but already own the Falba case... should I forge ahead blindly and finish building out the falba or wait for another Massdrop? (Note: I also don't mind dealing with Massdrop -- I realize I'm in the minority, but I've never personally had any issues with MD. Same with Falba, aside from one un-returned email I sent them.)
