Pimax Crystal Super 50 PPD purchase

If you were in Netherlands, which store would you go for to get Pimax Crystal Super 50 PPD.
I heard Aerosoft Germany would be good from price, delivery and after sales service point of view. Otherwise, do you recommend just to get it straight from Amazon?
Please your suggestion.

Do you think moving from HTC Vive Focus Vision to Pimax Crystal Super 50PPD (127 FOV) is a good move and/or deal?
My interest is:
Clarity
Resolution
Flight Sim

I have a PC with RTX 5090.

Just wanted to share this interesting scary experience.

I noticed today something very strange while gaming using my Astral RTX 5090. I have the sense in looking all the time while gaming to the other screen to my PC in which GPU Tweak III and HWinfo64 are all the time engaged. Normally I have them as follows:

** At Idle GPU, all 6-pins current readings ranged from 0.65 A to 0.70 A

** with high ultra 4K gaming, all 6-pins current readings ranged from 6.7 A to 7.7 A

Furthermore, GPU Tweak III 12V-5X6 never shown red color indicator as a result of current imbalances. In the same, time I have set in HWinfo64 alerting alarm pop-up window in case any pin exceeds 8.5 A.

Today, I noticed a sudden and massive imbalance in the current readings in (A) for 12VHPWR 6-Pins and while gaming with War Thunder, I found the following very strange readings in the 6-pins: 2.580 A,  3.580 A ,  10.750 A,  9.985 A,   4.250 A  and 6.523 A. Both GPU Tweak III and HWinfo64 started giving alarms for the first time since one year of purchasing my Astral RTX 5090. I shutdown immediately War Thunder and moved to Battlefield 6 to check if the same issue will be detected. Yes, the same current  imbalance was detected by both GPU Tweak III and HWinfo64. When I put the GPU in idle I noticed the following unusual current readings also: 0.600 A,  1.450 A,  0.908 A 1.643 A,  0.893 A and 0.990 A.

NOTE: in all cases, GPU power did not exceed 550W which was strange also. HWinfo64 was only for 12VHPWR 6-Pins high current (I set it at => 8.5A as alarm)

* Nvidia driver was up-to-date: 596.21

* No overclocking at all made

* No change in any hardware been made.

* Even the PC was not touch at all.

* No new software been made

** Troubleshooting made:

Power connector was carefully checked:

* Fully inserted and no gap at all.

* No dust or debris inside.

* No burn smell was detected

* No discoloration on pins.

* I used my IR camera FLIR CX to check the thermal profile and everything was just below 45 deg.

** Now Problem Solving made:

* Nvidia Driver updated to 596.36 using clean installation inside nvidia App.

* All Invidia App and Control Panel settings kept at default (at the moment).

* War Thunder and Battlefield 6 at usually ultra 4K was conducted.

* Everything back to normal.

* I tweaked Nvidia App and bring all global settings as before like:

* DLSS Override - Model Preset = Preset B for Frame Generation and Preset L for Super Resolution

* DLSS Override - Frame Generation Mode = fixed at 4X (it was before dynamic at 6X with 596.21)

* DLSS Override - Super Resolution Mode = Quality

* CUDA - GPU = Nvidia RTX 5090

By running again many games as usual full and ultra settings at 4K, I found all GPU critical parameters including Amps readings for 12VHPWR 6-Pins are just back to normal.
