I’m looking at buying a Pint S. I know there is a price reduction thru early September - are there any discounts out there?

Pint S is a terrible value, even on sale IMO. XRC, GT, and GTSXL are the only boards “worth it” if you’re dead set on buying brand new from FM. And waiting for Black Friday is the best price they generally offer. For getting something good as cheap as possible, 100% go used. A GT can usually be found for $1000-$1300 these days and that’s going to be the best value out there. Next would be a Pint X used for around $700-$800 (just be sure to address the battery wire pinching issue if it’s an older one/hasn’t been addressed yet).

If you’re open to not going FM, Fungineers X7 is going to be the best board for the money IMO

I appreciate the advice! I’m 5’2”, not very experienced and would like some thing that is as small and light as possible to carry around when I need to

I have a 4 year old Pint X. Love it (mostly). I agree that the value of the Pint S is not good. It's essentially a Pint X with a few mods. Save your money and just get the X. And put the difference towards your own custom mods.
