I'm already overextended with numerous LCS related component acquisitions and a few expensive pieces of electronically enhanced rolling stock. However, I've become convinced that I'd really like to replace my KW (which I've outfitted with short suppression long ago to protect modern electronics) with a ZW-L rather than one or two of the soon to be available 180 powerhouses. Two such powerhouses would be MORE than sufficient for my needs. So the ZW-L is just a "want thing" not a "need thing."
If I thought they could reasonably be expected to be easily available at the standard LHS and online HS outlets for all of 2017, I'd probably wait for awhile before jumping in. But if it's a limited availability type item that once out of stock could be years before another run was made, then perhaps I need to decide whether it's a "now or never" type thing.
Anybody with relevant knowledge know what availability for this item is likely to be for next 12-18 months? Based on the expense and the complexity I do NOT want to buy this from eBay or any other outlet where I would not have the warranty.
