Zander,

A comparison of functions would be very useful, I agree. I don't think it exists unfortunately.

Personally, I think the Control:10 interface is an important part of the system 'experience' - I can't list all the features that appear on the C10 but which are not on the iPod / iPad / Control:PC / Control:Mac, but I don't think I'd get half the pleasure or use of the system if I didn't have the C10. (And no, I'm not in the Meridian sales dept!) This is very much a personal opinion though, so it'd be interesting to hear from any who use Sooloos without the C10.

Main features that come immediately to mind are:
- CD loading (OK, this can be done on Control:PC and Control:Mac, but not iPad / iPod)
- Browsing albums by CD cover artwork only possible on C10
- 'Focus' feature (eg show all albums released in the 1980's in the Ska genre, or show me all the music which Brian Burton produced) only available on C10
- iPad / iPod / C:PC / C:Mac can access previously saved Focuses (Foci?) but they can only be created and saved on C10

(I haven't seen or used the Crestron interface, so can't comment on that.)

Hopefully you can find a friendly dealer who can demonstrate to you without pressure... I'm sure there are many in the UK who'd be willing to help if you're ever over here.

Regards,

Ian
