5) "Incremental" sonic improvements due to the new architecture, layout, etc.

and these are the main missing features (cards) of the 861v6:

6) Balanced analogue inputs
7) Tape card / copy zone
8) Video switching

I would add 6) Improved analogue output cards (Balanced & Non Balanced).

Video Switching [Analogue], missing yes but not major; who uses it these days?

UK trade-in prices, (not cheap & never will be) seem OK, would liked to have seen a difference between V3 & V4 values.
