That's great news SKY I'm eager to read through your review and I'm equally looking forward to when you put that honey up in the Review unit sales thread. *cough dibs
And as for the Backplate Zero if you say it's metal then I'll take you at your word but fancy backplates made of hardened plastic have been done b4 as I'm an owner of two myself.
Recent sales have brought this SC+ down to $404 CAD and that's the exact price of the regular SC so the extra Aluminum BP and bracket are gravy which is nice.
