I am sure they figured out that everything but Mic6 or ATP5 aluminum warps into a potato chip after a couple thermal cycles, and even the $$$ Mic6 will warp eventually at the thickness of an S5 build plate.
I am curious what they hoped to accomplish with the aluminum build plate though. Usually a sheet of PEI (also $$$ at that size) goes on the aluminum for ABS and polycarbonate adhesion, but i had heard no mention of that from them. Were they planning on running straight on the AL? I am not sure about the heat transfer of PEI stuck to glass, but I may try it with the second glass build plate i'll be getting.

I understand. What I would like ultimaker to consider is offering a choice of the glass plate or a credit for other accessories. I already have a 2nd glass plate I don't use.
