Well Id say its a good decision unless you need it as a dependable ECS right now.
If you can tolerate it dying if it does and waiting until they get this mess figured out you scored a totoal deal that you wont see again once the V3 is released.
All that said.. Ive killed a V1 and a V2, but I have another V1 that has a good bit of time on it now and it seems to be holding up OK. (of course my first V1 made the 20 hour make before it died too) Not sure whay some seem to die and others work, but if you get a good one your fine, if you get a bad one, you wait.
