You obviously missed the intro of the G series just weeks/days after many of us rushed into limited runs of 5xx upgrades.

Well, at least I'm consistent! And for the record, it is really only my responses to the trade-in options for 861 owners that has brought out my negative side. This isn't the first time I've felt annoyance towards Meridian as, contrary to your assumption (you know what they say about assuming ....) I did get impacted having had my 568 upgraded to 568.2 just weeks before G showed up.

And its not just about moaning about the upgrade, its a bit more subtle than that so perhaps you missed it, but its about selling an expensive piece of gear with the promise of upgradeability ... and then largely not carrying through with that promise.

But, I will relieve you of the burden of reading any more critical comments from me on this subject. I've said my piece, decided to stick with where I am, and move on to more constructive dialog.
