Get your First Watt SIT-3 now?

I am just saying this because I found it very interesting.  I just purchased (ordered) a new First Watt SIT-3.  I was hoping to save to upgrade my speakers but love my F7 and read so many great reviews on the SIT-3 that I thought, 'with only 250 being made, maybe I should pull the trigger'.
Well, looks like the right choice.  I trust my dealer, he has always been fair and truthful.  Anyway, he said when he contacted Pass, he was told I got the last one they are producing.  I had already paid for the Amp.  I heard they were making 250 only anyway, but mine is reportedly number 107.  What about the other 143?  Is it numbered in an odd way?  none of that matters.  
I only write this because if it is true and you are seriously looking at getting one, I would jump on it before it is no longer possible.

I have one coming to me, serial number 3937 ordered this week. Not sure how that relates to your number 107.

I received my Sit-3 and fresh out of the box it was pretty rough, grainy and lacking in detail.  But with some hours on, WOW, what a transformation!  I am only at maybe 10 hrs now, but very impressed with it and even though I have a return offered if I don’t like it, there is no way I would send it back.  For comparison I have a Ref6/ref75se combo, and ANK Mentor/L4 monoblocks and this absolutely is at the same level, just a bit different flavor.  Historically I have previously had from Pass/first watt a 250, 30.8, f5, F7, and sit-2.  The most impressive of those was the sit-2, but 10 watts was just not enough for my Devore Nines.  It was impressively clean and detailed but a bit lean.  The sit-3 sounds at least as clean, fuller bodied, more “present”, and much more powerful.  It sounds very natural and realistic, voiced perfectly.  Brass has the perfect amount of detail and bite.  Voices are as natural as they get, and full of inner detail.  
It does benefit greatly from a better power cord.  
Great amp!
