I probably improperly assumed pre-order list meant putting money up..
If you can truly change flow rate of each each pump independently and on the fly with few caveats then this will be a winner.. I don't see it explicitly state that though. Which is why a few more details on capabilities and limitations would be nice to know.

Nope - no charge placed until the ordered item is shipped...
It should be able to do on your laptop anything that you can do with the Vortech controllers... plus you should be able to set the changes using the Apex clock and feed commands...

If you have the wireless controllers already, would this be a benefit? Can it mimic the new types of flow similar to the new EcoSmart drivers? In other words, if I don't have the EcoSmart drivers yet, will there be a program on the new module that would copy the new EcoSmart modes without having the need to buy the new drivers?

it will be to me. this will enable you to control your vortech wireless pumps with apex programming. meaning you can turn them on/off, change speed settings, and pump modes all based on times set in your apex programming. might not be useful to everyone, but im looking forward to it for my tank!
edit:
also, this module does not connect directly to, or replace any of your vortech pump parts or controllers. what the module does is connect to them through wireless, just like your current pumps connect to each other now using master-slave modes. so all you would have to do is connect to the new module to your apex system, and then sync it up with your pumps and magically it will all work! (of course i dont know the specifics yet, but that seems to be how it will work)

One touch feed mode......Finally!

This is great, but back to one of the original questions: will this support all the new wave mode features of the new Ecotech controller? This from the Neptune description suggest not:
"Supports Ecotech's Constant, Reef Crest, Lagoon Random, Pulse, Sync and Anti-Sync modes."
Those are the modes for the current, now "old style", Vortec wireless controllers.
Still on the fence - though one touch feed is compelling.
