Rather new to massdrop, but.... what is the point of this drop, when the producer (elecfreak) himself is offering a better deal? cf: http://www.elecfreaks.com/estore/diy-fg085-dds-digital-synthesis-function-generator-kit-with-panel.html 31.99$

totoreadorIt's also sold cheaper than the Massdrop price at the official distributors of what I think are the actual creators of the product (JYETech, no idea what Elecfreaks is about, if it's a "stolen" design or if they're just redistributing, or if it's an open source design, or what?): http://www.jyetech.com/Products/085/e08503K.php Also on Banggood: https://www.banggood.com/DIY-FG085-DDS-Digital-Synthesis-Function-Generator-Kit-With-Panel-p-974906.html

totoreadorJust my two comparative cents...
If this product is like others I've seen on Massdrop (a big "if", I know), the basic production and concept are produced in China and resold (and legally rebranded) in the US (and elsewhere). The versions listed on eBay and via JYE will ship from China, will be impossible (or prohibitively expensive) to replace or return, you'll pay $$$ for return shipping on refunds, and it will probably (but may not, in my experience) come with everything you need to use it out of the box. The version available directly from Elecfreaks is more expensive when you add in shipping and will be no faster to ship.
For me, bottom line, I'll buy this from Massdrop because returns/replacement will be simple, if even needed, and the price is reasonable when compared to other domestic suppliers.
