My friend and I felt deceived on the pricing of Umbrel Pro.
While wording is technically correct, what we thought "oh wow, $700 for a pc+32tb??" then a few days later when said friend wanted to get it, they realized it was BS, where $700 is for the device without any storage and adding one 4 TB stick is adding $500 to the total price.
The correct transparent/clear representation of how it should have been on the Umbrel page would be something like the second image (bottom/right).
Said friend has now lost trust in the Umbrel company because of this appearance of deception.
