That is correct which is why I think all orders placed right now should wait. At least wait until it's confirmed that MM is shipping the 7 day system as they may charge you down the road if you want that version, which is really just a software change on the pump/guardian.

I think that makes the two systems comparable in price. Each sensor is $35, so with the Guardian you get $105 worth and with the pump kit version you get $350 worth. Then I forget what the transmitter cost, but I thought I heard $300 or so once. Which means the pump kit one is getting ripped off. And with the Guardian that would put the receiver around $650 which sounds right for one of those.
Just some stupid useless info.
