The 976 was announced in January for a Spring release. Outlaw has been pretty quiet generally as deadlines and potentially significant dates come and go. I'll grant that going to China sounds good, but given their luck so far, those Chinese factory shut-downs could also have impacted them. So...

Other than eternal optimism, what do yo base your anticipation of an announcement on?

FWIW, I was disappointed to decide instead to move another direction, but now, with the continued delays, I consider it the correct choice for me, primarily because I needed a unit. If you have a set-up you're mostly okay with, I can see waiting longer. But this has been an epic wait thus far.
