Yes, it was pretty much just one year ago in December I decided I was going to buy my machine because they were running 10% off. Then just a few months later pretty much all their VF machines got a price reduction of a few thousand dollars without a sale, then in spring time they ran a 5% off sale so the price in the end was the same as I paid with my "glorious" 10% off, Now they are bringing 10% off in addition to cheaper pricing. So now the same machine is actually cheaper than when I bought it and comes with 30 tools standard along with a servo for the side mount as well. But hey, it pushed me to make a purchase and made me a lot of money so it all worked out. I noticed Haas now offers a through spindle coolant prep upgrade in case you want to upgrade later, that's one option I may have gotten because I could not afford or justify through spindle coolant at the time but I can see myself using in the future. Then again, its money that could just be used toward another machine instead. Anyways good luck with your purchase. I found it hard to go back to working on my Tormach after getting my Haas.
