The amount bugs me

They got that much funding because it is inexpensive, like the Peachy, but more fully realized. Peachy had more R&D to do before release, and people weren't sold on that. KS campaigns are known to disappoint sometimes.

One of the only people speaking sense on this thread, the difference in presentation and the output they've already achieved opens their campaign up to a much wider audience....consumers! (and there's a lot of them)
Peachy was aimed at hackers and builders, the fact that you have to build it will put a lot of people off, also there was a lot of imagination required to finish this off, not unreasonable given that it's a newer to this market technology.

With the micro I think we can be reasonably sure that the final product will be almost identical to the prototype they're showing off, this is most definitely not the case with the peachy. I'm sure we have some amazing changes to witness as the hobby SLA market evolves and matures.

unreliable motors

This is the second post you've put something about motors in...what's the issue?
