There's the rub - Idioms - by the Free Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.
there's the rub
here is the difficulty You can't get a job unless you have experience. And there's the rub – how do you get experience if you can't get a job?
Usage notes: also appears as here's the rub and that's the rub: The factory is ready to go, but here's the rub – there's no market for the products.

The factory is ready to go, but here's the rub – there's no market for the products.
The factory is ready to go, but there's the rub – there's no market for the products.
The factory is ready to go, but that's the rub – there's no market for the products.


I see no problem with the first and second sentences. Do you think there are any?
I think that the third sentence is correct if the "that's the rub" and the "there's no market for the products" are switched. Correct?
