Luckily with ordering things to be delivered to you (I'm sure there is an actual term for that but can't remember it ATM) i the UK you have a period of time (I think either 7 or 14 days) to change your mind for any reason. So you can send the machine back if anything isn't supported (or if you decide you don't like the colour...).
