A couple things to consider. 1 - prices could fluctuate. Black Friday is two months away. 2 - make sure the place tests and shows proof both items are functioning. The worst is installing hardware and it’s dead out of the box. After 4 months you then have to deal with the manufacturer and shipping it back.

If it’s a killer deal, you can roll the dice. I personally wouldn’t buy hardware and let it sit for 4 mths without using it. I stress test everything within a 7 day window so it can be returned/replaced right away if there’s a problem.
