Switch blades go on pre-order!

So looks like Bert opened up pre-orders on his new, soon to be released Switch main and tail rotor blades. Anyone ordering up any?
I've got an order going over at Helidirect. Haven't pulled the trigger yet. Need to check for a couple of parts in my inventory after my autorotation mishap with the gob 700 yesterday. But looking like I'll be trying out the 693mm and 500ish mm main blades and the 86mm tail blades.
As an aside, I can say I've never noticed a difference with any of the carbon tail blades I've tried. Plastic to carbon, absolutely. But for me and my less than aggressive use of tail rotation and stops in maneuvers, I haven't noticed any difference in any of the tail blades I've tried over the past couple years. Thinking I'll be using whatever is available/cheapest from now on.
