Well its here and overall a very nice machine by all accounts but with a few slight surprises. Couple of reviews from people whose views I trust:

Made With Layers
Is it for me? I do not think so!
The price in the UK @£2199 is much lower than I guessed, seems to be sticking up a bambu finger at Prusa with 9 heads vs eight
Surprising that only 2 of the 9 chambers are actually heated.
I cannot think of a use for me of having 9 tool heads as i tend to print in single or two colour most of the time.
I think that I would get better value in buying an H2D for two colour printing and ASA ABS and CF filaments and even get a Snapmaker UI for the occasional 4 colour prints in mainly PLA. Currently the two would cost in the region of £1959 vs H3C at £2199 - leaving £240 for filament
Of course that's just my 2 cents with the right to change my views at any time
