Yes, its damned fast, and if you want one, I know of a clinic in Indonesia that will pay you enough to buy one for only one kidney and a small lobe of your liver.

I agree, they are fast, and well balanced. They have several speeds, so you don't have to go real fast, and can conserve battery power.

Great machine. If someone wanted to subsidize one I'd get it in a heartbeat, but I can't justify the price to myself. Hope you like diving solo cause if you use the speed no one else will be keeping up.

Put it this way: would anybody like to buy a 1986 Camaro IROC-Z in very, very good condition, with 72,000 miles? I can e-mail pictures...

Anyone know how many they have sold so far? I'd be curious to know. Sounds like a great machine, but damn it's expensive.

The word I heard from Edd was that they made a limited run (of 25 or 50, I think) because they were afraid that the Magnus wouldn't sell well, due to price. According to Edd, the entire first run is spoken for.

I'm sharp enough to know that looks don't mean anything, but in the pictures posted at the Magnus link that sure looks like the same DC brushless motor that is in a Dive-X Cuda. Right down to the machining in the case and the connector to the battery.

And how much do those Megs cost? If I had a choice between a Magnus and a Meg, I'd go for the Magnus.

But that's just me.
