Varjo Aero Launch: Dumbed down and over priced

Been looking on VRFocus and RoadtoVR on the Varjo Aero launch. In summary, too much money for too little:
1) $2000 headset but you have to buy your own controllers and base station
2) Varjo have removed the retina display so no Hi-Res sweet spot
3) 2880x2720 resolution looks slightly better than the Reverb in the side by side screenshots but for some reason the Reverb screen was made much darker than it really looks. Once I discounted that it took me a few seconds to work out which was the Varjo and which was the Reverb.

 
For a sim guy maybe it could be worth it... Superior image quality but no built in sound, no possiblity of wireless (like the vive pro) and FOV is not next gen at all. 90hz is good but 120hz makes a noticable difference. Eye tracking does seem next gen but I'll rather wait for now. I think both Pimax and Oculus is coming out with announcements this month.
