Plus Colin dispelled any concerns I had about rigidity in the larger models.
Graphical LCD.... what can I say, I like gadgets, plus I believe it would have its uses if a computer was not connected up to the printer e.g. SD card only
Rumba vs Rambo vs Ramps wasn't based on the extruders :), It will support more fans than the RAMPS which may well be useful, and I believe it has more "expandability" than RAMPS / Rumba. From a purely masochistic point of view, Rumba may be a little more difficult to tweak given that initially there will be a smaller community user base to draw from.
I am sure my decision was made for all the wrong reasons, but unless I have something totally wrong, I think I'll stick with it.
