I'll buy the Dock if it's on sale. I might actually buy it anyways but might as well wait one day to see if I can save a few bucks.

I've put off buying it since honestly it feels a bit overpriced since you can get a hub that does pretty much the same job for 20€.

I bought a 3rd party "Deck Dock" that works perfectly fine for 30€ or so.

Looks like it's on sale.. 20% off. I'm in doubt, not sure if I'm going to use it as much as I think.

Alright that's decent enough price. While you can get 3rd party Dock pretty cheap, counting in shipping and the power adapter, it rounds up to 70€ for me. For 10€ more I can get first party support, that's actually competitive value.

I got a $20 Hub and wouldn't recommend it. For whatever reason the USB parts didn't work.
