I just cancelled an order for an LT, and I'm not sure whether to get one now.

Could someone please clarify the USB polling rate issue? is it a problem only during firmware updates, or does it affect general operation as well? I always use gaming mice (inc. Razer) at 500Hz or higher USB polling rates, so at the moment I don't have much confidence in the product or Aqua Computer's willingness to find a solution.
