Will Wright’s take

Based on the specs and price

Wait and see

“A four-nozzle changer at a great price, if it delivers.”

Swapping between four nozzles instead of purging is exactly where multi-colour should go, and $849 is aggressive. It's pre-order only with no independent reviews yet, so I'd wait for real-world results before putting money down.
