Thanks Nojomojo! It's my first time custom ordering and my ignorance may be showing a bit. The black-box nature of the process is unnerving, especially for a newbie, so I really appreciate the response and perspective.

I got jerked around for 4 months trying to order through a "family friend" GM... I got completely ghosted. Called another dealership that was recommended to me and was offered an allocation immediately so I jumped. Honestly, even missing HK and Laser this will be a major upgrade for me, so not too concerned.

I've resigned myself to the fact that I'm living in a weird dystopian present, where having the requisite means doesn't necessarily grant the desired outcome.
