At the time I got mine from BEST too, link in that thread.
As far as I can tell from posts on that topic, there is still an element of uncertainty/luck when shopping Ali for spindles, choosing a known brand and distributor increases your chances but is not a guarantee of success either. It’s the name of the (Ali) game.
Anyway, if you can’t wait for C3D’s spindle I think BEST/G-penny is as safe as you can play it right now, then cross your fingers, do a little rain dance, and everything should be fine
