That's what I thought when I saw the desktop models. I guess having the access to them has dulled the excitement for getting one for myself.
The down side is still the software. You really have to know 3D modeling.
The companion tool for this system will be the hobby based laser scanners that will reproduce a software version of a 3D part that it scans. You could possibly scan your face and create a 'mini-me' to fly in your scale warbird (keep you eyes closed while it's scanning...if that's even safe enough).
