Instead of merely speculating about the issues you described above, I will list my reasons for not buying the OP2. Hopefully, you will find it useful.
 
I had an invite to buy the OnePlus Two (currently using the OPO), I was very tempted to 'upgrade' until I listed down what the price of 425 euros (shipping incl.) would get me. It wasn't really worth it and barely an upgrade.
 
I lost:
- My slick bamboo cover
- NFC chip
- Battery life?
- Thermal performance?
- A working home button
- Micro USB
- A crappy processor that has caused many problems in other devices, which was probably their most cheapest choice as I can't imagine other companies jumping to buy it from the manufacturer.
 
for:
+ Fingerprint reader that barely works, and isn't a real button.
+ Somewhat cooler design.
 
Then I compared it to what other devices I could get for that money. A Samsung Galaxy S6 goes for about 490 euros, which has AMOLED display (nice because I like making my screen dark, this would save battery life), better camera, better processor, fitness stuff (heartbeat monitor etc), better battery life, NFC, option for Wireless charging, no messing around with USB-C.
 
To conclude, I don't think the OP2 is a "flagship" killer as it claims. The competition is fierce, and the things OnePlus had to do to cut the price down marginally isn't worth the few bucks. They are currently rushing the invites because they can't keep their promises of being able to deliver the OP2 to as many people as they had planned. With more devices coming up soon such as the rumored Nexus X5 by the end of this month, OnePlus is in a tough spot.

They're going to make a second attempt today, but with my luck the truck will probably explode. 

Vessel is based on exclusives. It has no other reason to even exist. Other than that green thing called cash that they pour in content creators pockets. 
 
Vessel is like double dipping, release same videos twice earn twice.
 
Also content behind a paywall is so 20th century.

You can't just call someone a douche because they like Apple computers....

Have you tried looking for it on eBay or Amazon? Maybe r/hardwareswap? You'd probably be able to find it on either of those. 
 
 At least try. 

I hate how every time I boot up it says Updating/Verifying Installation.....every...fucking...time

Im using the Benq RL2455HM, 1080p, 2x HDMI, 1 VGA, 1ms, 60hz. I really like this monitor

Dont need an i7 for gaming!,
 
i5 4690K, Stronger GPU, Z97 motherboard, reinvest the savings (you'll probably get a good 150$ odd saving).
 
plus i hear at 4k things become very gpu bound, so again use the savings for a stronger GPU.

Again, it's alpha, every alpha game runs like shit.

But remember a pro key will only work on a pro installation, not on a enterprise version!

If you enter your key and it's valid then it will be forever

So do you have key? If so for what version? You can use the windows media creation tool to get 8.1 home/pro

Its always nice seeing people actively work together towards a solution.

Best option would to go into the bank and talk to them about it

Yeah I would argue even on a mid range pair like my Sennheiser momentums, or my MMX300s (basically DT770s), i cannot tell the difference in a blind test reliably.
 
I imagine if I had some HD650s or HD700s i MIGHT be able to tell.. maybe worth it with some £1000 HD800s with a top end DAC/AMP connected to my pc/phone

You burn it, I know if you're using windows 8 there's a built in way. If not there's a lot of software out there. ImgBurn is good
