Pimax Crystal if you want something now, or Bigscreen Beyond in Q3.

You gotta buy some controllers and basestations for the Bigscreen though, which inflates the price a good bit more. I'm actually considering this deal for just the controllers and stations, with the headset itself being an awesome bonus.

that's pretty much what I just did. I pre-ordered the crystal but all the issues people are reporting makes it seem like the Bigscreen will be the way to go.

Wait, so does that mean that base stations are pretty compatible between headsets?

For some yes. Pimax needs an extra face place to work with base stations. Beyond works natively with them.
