I'm really sorry to hear it - I would say I hope that it turns out to be explainable and gets sorted, but I guess that's looking unlikely. I feel your pain, I like the look of the 3400 and think it would be a nice one to have too, and I'd hate to lose money/trades in this way. Such a shame, I always felt that I could trust people at 68kmla too :'(
