Agreed...so here it is...charge those of us in North America the same amount as you are charging the UK folks because then the pricing is at least level..

That's a good start!

Also, if Meridian is not going to want the units back, allow the trade-in based off a proper receipt/bill-of-sale and let us recoup some of the cost by selling our old 861s privately. So, if for example, the upgrade were currency agnostic at around $11K, and a v4 could command $3K on the used market, now we're talking an outlay of $8K which I think most people could at least accept as reasonable.

PS - I suppose Meridian has some motivation to get older units off the market, so are they obligating the dealers to destroy them?
