I don't see what the Pico offers over the E3D or Prusa.

Edit: I admit its beautiful machining, but I don't see that its worth it. I have been so strongly won over by E3D's short hot zone.

Same here. A year is a long time to go from prototype to final design. Short melt zone (E3D) is better in my opinion. More parts isn't necessarily bad - aluminum is much cheaper to machine than SS.

Hmm I like the fact it's a solid piece expect for the nozzle,
as opposed to the E3D which comes in 3 separate pieces
