Were the new batch of StreetDecks in the pipeline before MG arrived or after? Also, what was the reasoning behind ordering 3x E400MMCs initially for the X30 rather than low height StreetDecks across the board?

I believe they answered that question during one of the Facebook Lives.
The reason for going with the E400s over the low height StreetDecks was that the E400s offered better headroom inside than the equivalent height StreetDecks.
