Tell you what - the print in the manual isn't even very good. It all looks quite light, not dark enough. This makes some of the images look like a muddy, low contrast mess! I'm looking at the pages covering Push and some of the example images of the controller (transport and ribbon section) are just...

I got my stickers though!

My "box" turned up today - Quite nice!
Perhaps not as solid as some of the previous "Suite" boxes, but it looks good and I got my stickers.

Not sure I'll be needing the 80 blank "notes" pages in the back of the manual, but hey, someone out there might need that many!

I ordered mine from the Ableton shop at 18:33 GMT on the 5th March.
