Experiences with Fotoman 5x7 and WP holders?

[Removed Account]

I am looking for new 5x7 holders, and since I can't afford the $200+ each of custom wood holders have been excited to hear that Fotoman is releasing holders in 5x7 and Whole Plate sizes. Unfortunately they are not yet listed on the Fotoman website, but according to the Q&A the 5x7s may have shipped by now. Has anyone received their 5x7 or WP holders yet, and if so what do you think of the quality as compared to Fidelity, Lisco, and Toyo? To the Fotoman rep, if you read this when will the holders be available for further purchase? Thanks for the info everyone!

No experience with new holders but I see that Badger sells Shen_Hao 5x7 holders:

I have seen a few threads about them on large format forum or photo.net. Maybe search if you are interested.
