I’d say its safe to assume the update reveal will provide backers with housing issues a free replacement for either the ruggedized/rubberized versions, or a replacement to the “updated/revised” 5k/8k with better plastic, based off of these comments.

8K+RE headsets from Face book, by [Stephen Bowman]
Currently testing the enterprise focused Pimax 5K+RE & 8K+RE headsets at our London offices. All in all, pretty impressed so far. Specificslly the 8K+RE which appears to have an improved set of display panels , which deliver near zero SDE and much sharper visuals (certainly as far as any of our testers could see). The lenses are the same existing ones. The units feel firmer, less case flex and the finish on the plastic (slightly rubbery/satin) seems more ready for the knocks that units in LBE & business settings tend to get. The RGB front stripe doesn’t feature on the RE models, instead there is a polished metal chevron, along with metal buttons and a metal Pimax logo recessed into the front. Tracking and use with PiTool are the same as the non RE units, aside from the 8K+RE which seems to come up as an 8K+ in PiTool. Will update you further as we continue to test these. Stephen.

What I would like to know is will the 8k+RE be released with out the business support at a cheaper price.
I’d like to know this too, @PimaxUSA ?
