@ Nico, I agree on the "extended-statement".
Considering the opinion of that d***a** from my company buying a Z18 just because of "built size" instead of criteria like quality, support and wase of use, double height would be an outstanding argument I guess not just for our colleague...
Nevertheless, great to see ultimaker making the next steps...

The Go would have been a great chance to use 1.75mm filament. I know that UM wants to minimize the number of custom parts, but if the Go is a marketing machine anyway, then they should have gone through with it.
I don't like 2.85mm filament. It is "stubborn" and harder to handle. Nearly poked my eye out a few weeks ago when I switched filament... I know that 1.75mm is pricier but Ultimaker is in the best position to change that. If their printers start to adopt that filament size, there is another big argument for the thinner filament.
For the Go I am not that sad about the missing heated bed. The glue stick thinned down with water works wonders. And with the little dude you wouldn't print huge warping parts anyway.
The Extended is very sexy but I wonder why increase the z-size "only" by 100mm? With twice that much the build size would have gone from "pretty big" to "enormous". And for an enormous build size I think those interested in it would pay the extra price easily.
