Martin pointed out we don't need an M2 for FATE as the instruction sets are equal on both machines.

So I change this request to just buy me an M2 mini then for ffwork.
Also saves some trouble sending the machines around and possible customs coming from the UK.

Paul's complaint I use it only for my personal use is of course wrong.
Also he is not using it for benching atm - though others might but with just buying a new M2 nothing changes for anyone with access to the existing machines.

I'd need another OK for this change of plans, of course.

Thanks,
Thilo
