You're aware that you'll be able to buy one (as well as other accessories) from Empeg as soon as they can get their online store back up, right?

Well, not "as soon as" - the store should definitely be up next week (the stock is now in the UK, awaiting customs clearance) but the AR panels are in a 3 week queue for AR coating. The contractor had a machine breakdown and we haven't been able to find anyone that can do it faster.

What exactly is AR coating? Anti-Radiation? Arctic-Resonator? Altered-Reality?

Everyone talks about AR lenses, but what exactly does this give me? Is there an option to buy Non-AR lenses?

You may think me mad, but will it be possible to get non AR coated panels when the store goes live or is it AR only from now on? I only ask cuz I've just put my original non-AR blue back in and I think that it looks nicer and gives a more professional finish with the glossier display. This is, of course, just a personal opinion that I'm sure alot of people will disagree with so go easy on me.

No, the AR coat goes on before the ITO (EMC coat) so we don't have any non coated panels even as a special.

There must be a lot of non coated panels out there - we've sent out a few hundred coated replacements for early customers.

Shame - I would like to try a red in my car but the blue seems just right against the plastic interior - just wish I could match up to my dash display better.
