I can say with some degree of certainty that they won't all be gold plated. The gold sidewinder CT on the hoh site is going to be over $500. Granted, the entire tank section and all hardware is supposed to be gold, but still, the additional cost and time incurred with plating all of the hardware would probably be cost prohibitive.
hm ic ... well i'll be interested to see what happens even if it is out of my price range. gold plated contacts on a zenesis will be hard to pass up on though ...
