I was sent QC photos of my external aethos v1 clone. I’m unfortunately stuck on mobile the next few days and I can’t seem to save better quality photos, otherwise I would post them. Communication with the fivestar shop was fairly pleasant. I initially asked them about the internal model and they sent me the link from the microck store instead of the fivegood store. Ended up going with fivegood due to the sale. Probably could have waited some more for a better sale but after shipping and taxes it came out to $535 with 26% cash back via rakuten. I think that’s why I bit the bullet and ordered it then. Ends up being $395? I am still torn on whether or not I should have gotten a sl8 clone vs the aethos but woe is me.
