Most excited for an x8x4PCIE slot(for oculink). Any actual feedback here, also, what's the aussie tax like?

I went way overboard speccing mine so thenAussie tax was a big hit. Including the RAM & SSDs I sourced separately, over $5K ๐ญ I find the FW13 is reasonable comparable to similar 13in laptops, but the FW16 is pricier than comparable 16in laptops. Windows ones that is. As I've specced it its a total bargain compared to a 16in Macbook. That said, I was willing to eat the price difference for the modularity, the potential for future upgrades & to back Framework's mission.
Also yes, I'm also desperately waiting for the release of an oculink module.
