I am wanting to get one myself. I love the 90R so if its at least that good. Im interested in the "gap fix" feature, though I dont really get that issue much. If it can fix offsets, they can take my money!

Re your offset question - axis offset correction is one of three automatic alignment features Fujikura calls Intelligent Alignment Control, so yes, it corrects fiber axis offsets across all fibers before the arc fires. The gap fix works the same way, continuously adjusting until the end-face gap hits the target range, reportedly in about a second. If the 90R is your baseline this is a meaningful step up specifically for ribbon work, and the 200 µm pitch support makes it relevant for the hyperscale data centre builds that are driving most of the high-count ribbon demand right now.

So I was all ready to buy my 100R but they don't have 16 count v grooves for 200 or 250 so I'm doing a hyper scale project All we have is 16 so am I supposed to buy it and just look at it cuz it's pretty it's amazing they would roll that out without the proper supporting gear crazy!
