I'm not MaoDi, but I contacted Sam@UM and was told that I can order the Mage right now.

I would go with the Mage, for sure. I definitely don't think a remolded TF10 with additional driver will compare and the UE11 is roughly twice the price.
They're building my Mages as we speak.

can anyone who's ordered and recieved a complete set post how much the shipping back and forth has added up to? And will they send back your impressions if you ask?

I can't quote shipping, but it's rather cheap. Expedited shipping, which takes about 1 or 2 days is about 300RMB, so that's about...$40? Also, there's no point in keep your impressions, they shrink and are useless after 4-6 weeks in a low humidity area, most impressions shrink 1-2mm within weeks, rendering them useless.

I haven't gotten my monitors yet, but shipping to China from US was $3 to send my impressions First Class, but it took about 3 weeks to get there. I also sent some TF10s First Class, for remolding. It's been about a month and they still haven't gotten there. Someone else here sent his impressions USPS PRIORITY and it actually took longer than mine did to reach UM. So, I would suggest you steer clear of USPS and just spend the extra on UPS, etc.
UM charged me roughly $35 for shipping my order from China to US, but for what it's worth, they use FedEx and he says once shipped, my package should arrive within 2-3 days, so I don't mind the price.

Rather Easy, takes about 25% more than the ES3X and 10X3. Takes less to drive the Mage to the same volume as the SE530.

If you really like the punch in the lows from the W3, then these might not be for you. Despite using dual lows, UM has stayed back from overpowering lows and have used the advantage of dual drivers to keep the lows accurate, quick, and controlled rather than outputting twice the power.

Still liken them? temptation is killing me, for the price and product i might have to grab some next friday when i get payed so i can give them a whirl. Sometimes i think the 3's have too much bass so these might make me really happy.
