    I have been aiming, to "pre-order" in the next few days.
    But, how likely, do you think, shall you be able to FILL "pre-orders"?
    If how you will respond to "pre-ordering" is "up in the air", then me "pre-ordering" now, might 
result in hassle for both of us, rather than be of benefit to both of us.
    So then perhaps I should wait until a decision has been made?

    Eagerly, Chad.  (:^)
