Now everything is ready to go when you are ready to pick it up instead of waiting two months for unit to come in and then doing PDI and possibly waiting months for repairs before you can pick up.

BUT - their subsequent course change in willingness to wait signals a good direction, so while a potential, I have no reason to think they would drag their feet over PDI stuff. And if they do, I don't own it yet.....
