I know what you mean miller, I did the first round at OCUK hq and expected to be impressed, but ultimately I was so disappointed I had decided to wait until 2nd gen headsets were out. Thankfully, having read so much positive stuff and finding a 2week old OR on gumtree for £350 I figured even if I didn't like it I could get my money back. Even without tweaking anything my experience is so much better than the competition setup...very pleasantly surprised, I'm now looking forward to my new pc build in November to up SS and eye candy to improve the experience.
I'm so glad I got the OR now.
