Maybe it was just me, but be careful with that Academy build. I found the fit and engineering to be somewhat less than spectacular. And it's probably a good thing you're doin' it "clean", 'cause I had a helluva time gettin' the gear to fit properly. IMO, it's not the "Phantom to end all Phantoms" that the pre-release hype led one to believe. Again, just my .02 - you may find no problems at all. Good luck and congrats.
