Having looked at adverts in the Restaurant here and elsewhere over the past 12 months, it appears a good price for a used 808.2i is about �5,000 to �5,500 in the UK. This is not a huge difference from the 861v6 Trade-Up offer.

It would be for me here in the US. At list the base trade-in is $16K plus I'd need an OA18 and OA08 cards, so that adds another $3K (still not sure about this). Agree with your assessment of used price on the 808.2i of around $8K (although I'd go for the regular 808.2 and run it into my 861v4), but I figure I could sell my 800 for probably $3K, so my net is $5K. Big difference. I can live with the apodizing in HD621 for movie sources, and gain it for CD sources with 808.2. I'm very much leaning this way.
