Any experience with the new ARC annealer from ADG?

[Rank Amateur]

ADG is advertising a new electronic annealing machine with built-in case feeder. Called ARC, it uses a slightly different approach than the AMP annealing machine, and is not yet on the market. Wondering if anyone has any experience with a pre-market or prototype version of this new machine? Seems that ADG will be offering it (initially) at the same price ($1,875) as the AMP II DB, and you have to add the case feeder to the AMP at additional cost. Direct competition is usually beneficial as long as the new product is as good (or better) than the current best in class.

"As good or better."
Time will tell.

If they have a well made and reliable case feeder, sign me up and consider the AMP for sale. I love my AMP/AZTEC...but, hand feeding several hundred cases in a run is getting rather old. I refuse to purchase the Rube-Goldberg add on case feeder for the AMP as I have not heard any good reports on reliable case feeding. If I have to baby sit an induction annealer, I might as well hand feed them. Kudos to ADG if they have built such a device. If it is as good as their brass, then I will be satisfied.
