Pre-takeoff checklist
Now that they announced the 1S/2S, I was hoping to find some deals on inventoried 1/2 devices but I'm not seeing them (discounted or otherwise). Has anyone seen them for sale anywhere?

I've got a Stratus2 I'd probably sell to upgrade to the newer one.
The 1S and 2S have completely replaced the older units.
I have a 2 that I would be willing to sell. PM me if interested.
Why give up the 2?
Because I got a 2S.
Long story... but I had a Stratus 1 and was holding off until they released the new release. An Appareo rep back in March/April privately told me to "wait until OshKosh before you upgrade from a 1 to a 2". So, I waited... The day they announced the 1S/2S, I preordered a 2S. I immediately EBay'ed the Stratus 1 and sold it that day. I planned on flying the 2-3 weeks without a Stratus, but a couple of weeks into it I got too close to a growing thunderstorm (the Stormscope alone doesn't tell the whole story). I got freaked out, checked Sporty's backorder date, which had been pushed out into August, so I purchased a temporary 2 off a guy from another forum. I paid for the guy to overnight it. The very next day I got a call from Sporty's saying that the 2S was ready to ship.... luckily I was at Clermont County visiting a nearby customer and picked the 2S up will call at Sporty's.... So I got both the 2 and the 2S the same day. And thus... selling the 2 that I didn't need in the first place.
Ok, got it, you actually upgraded from the 1 to 2S. I decided to go the GP route and got the GDL-39-3D so I don't know much about the difference between all the Stratus models.
