Same here, for the price of this I can get a rift s and some heuskelveld pedals.

Good plan. Did you consider the Reverb at all?
Yes but lack of availability and i still play a lot of none sim games so wanted the better tracking and controllers of the rift s. Might pick one up in a few months depending on the reviews for my cockpit based games.
I think the Rift S or the Valve Index offer a much better VR package than the Reverb.
Based on my experience I wouldn't recommend a Windows reality mixed headset to anyone. The game support is a bit patchy and the software janky. Maybe ok if you can get one cheaply but you'd be mental to spend HP Reverb money on one IMO.
I can't help but wonder if Microsoft will ditch it in the near future as they really don't seem to be putting much effort into supporting the platform anymore.

Looks like their concentrating on hololens 2 rather than wmr.

Reading through the initial previews, it's looking good.
It uses the same lenses as the vive/vive pro! Not sure what valve were thinking when they decided that was a good idea.
I thought it used new stacked lenses, not the same ones as the Vive, is that not the case?
According to the tested video.

Uploadvr journalist took several headsets for his family to try for the weekend. Out of the S, index, reverb and quest the Index became commonly known as 'the good one'.
That's the impression I'm getting. They seem to have dropped both Windows Mixed Reality and Windows Phone/Mobile and are betting the farm that Augmented (Virtual) Reality is the thing that eventually supersedes both platforms. Hence the development of the Hololens and the complete lack of any new developments for WMR.

Sobering review:/ Worse stereo overlap (@5:28 ), sweetspot like on the original Vive, prominant godrays, generally "meh" optics (@11:05 ).
Looks a
Very disappointing given the rumours hinting it had next-gen double stacked lenses.

Other vr sites are reporting much more positively about the lenses. https://uploadvr.com/valve-index-hardware-preview/
Not sure who to believe now.

don't worry you're still within your 14day distance selling send back for your inferior SFixed
