I saw that too. Right now, the EHPro version is vaporware (ha!). I'd like to get a black version. I saw a few pics and it looks good in black.

FT states that it's made of BOTH stainless steel AND NON-stainless steel parts! (check your link)
I don't think the o-rings are stainless steel.
It says "Minor Parts". That doesn't imply O-rings.
FT posts that on any item that isnt 100% SS. Orings, insulators, etc are whats being referred to there.
My eye in on the EHPro version. All the EHP kayfuns I have have worked great...an occasional wonky thread, but otherwise great.
That's in every listing on fasttech when any steel atty is being sold, this happened after the first Kayfun 3.1's ended up having plated brass positive/center posts - fasttech had to replace them all with steel substitutes, same with the chrome plated Taifun GT decks.
This one doesn't have any non steel parts.
Gvapers has the KF4 clone IN STOCK and US based. Kind of pricey ($45) but if you want one now...you can grab it.
edit: One ebayer just got their pre order in stock today and has them too, ships next day at $27

seeings though there are a TON of K4 clones out now it'll be interesting to see how they all compare 
I ordered a Robbot K4 clone today.
@ KTM, I look forward to comparing the robbot to the black oring version you ordered from FT! it looks like the best of the 5 or so they offer...

So many clones. The authentic is the real needle in a haystack. Too bad they didn't produce more volume.
Should have got them manufactured in China - price and supply wouldn't have been an issue.
Even Apple runs into supply issues, despite manufacturing 10s of millions of iPhones each quarter. There's no escaping excess demand if you have a very successful product. Svoemesto has already manufactured probably close to 10,000 K4 units, I don't think their manufacturing capacity is a problem. It's just the fact that everyone wants to buy one. Yes, even at that "ridiculous" price tag. This is not some small batch item, Svoemesto is making a ton of them.
the one on Focal made by Robbottech. if for no other reason than it has a big beefy spring
Thats a whole lotta CNC machines lol. If anyone wonders how China pumps this stuff out so fast, theres your answer.
