Ordered it Wednesday night, first print on Friday night!
7 day turn-around worked out a bit better for me. I never thought my "proximity" to Brooklyn would be such an asset!

Lit with a "conventional" CF bulb.
From top-left proceeding clockwise, Octave "white / green" glow-in-the-dark ABS, Jet "white colored" ABS, Octave "blue / blue" glow-in-the-dark ABS, and Makerbot White ABS.
Made using a 3D print to create a mold, and then using traditional lost-wax casting.

So I really like the PLA. It is shiny/clear and rigid and doesn't shrink/warp. You can use lower temperatures to print and it doesn't smell particularly nasty when it is melted, and it is made from sunshine and dreams. OK, so maybe not, but you can make it with starches rather than straight fro petroleum. It also seems a tad bit more tolerant of overhangs, at least spanning a gap (think melty mozzarela, versus frosting).
On the down-side, the print quality can be iffy. The extruder jams (usually because the filament gets too soft to ram itself through the nozzle). It is brittle. And probably worst, I just don't have the experience yet to know how to make it do the stuff I know ABS will just print.
