yea I asked about the new AC jr. with DC8 deal on neptunes website and the online vendors can't get it right now but I'm pretty sure it isn't back ordered because I ordered mine direct from neptune on monday and got it on thursday.
Only complaint I have with it was my fault. I thought it was compatible with the AquaNotes software and it isn't. I really wanted to hook it up to a laptop since I'm a tech geek.
The DC8 is very cool and finally has eased my mind with safety and fire hazards. Everything now a days uses the bulky power adapters so don't plan on using all 8 plugs with the layout they used.
I asked that same question a couple days ago
