I also ordered a b-stock last Monday. I was told they would be shipping on the 9th or 10th, however, I have not received mine yet either. I was talking to an Outlaw rep who had seen one of the b-stocks with the raised panel and he said that they had one at a recent show and many people preferred it over the perfect one. I too was concerned about the structural integrity.What if the enclosure blew out? He asured me that would not happen. I know it carries the same warranty as a new one. I own a VTF3-MK2 and I can't wait to compare and contrast the two! As soon as it gets here I too will send some pics.
