Secure one whilst you can, if you are interested. This might go down as the "van Gogh", of the MULE TEAM releases.

And why is that? I'm not understanding the allusion.

I suspect that during its lifetime (availability), it will be undervalued and underappreciated, only becoming something of value (appreciation for what it offers) once it's gone and possibly available on the secondary market.

Ah, gotcha. I think you're probably right -- especially if high hardness AEB-L remains a rare thing in the marketplace.
