Ian,

You'd think M would compile a comparison table not least because as the C10 is the most feature-rich interface it would tip people like me over to certainly buying a c10 vs. not.

I'll almost certainly get a C10, not least for the Speakerlink to DSPs connectivity. It would also, I assume, be more convenient to rip the occasional CD via the C10 rather than schlep around on the PC. Certainly the idea of simply inserting the disc into the C10 slot and magic happens is far more appealing than cranking up software on a PC every time.

I am 100% certain that the iPad will be our primary interface. A tethered C10 is such a chore and to my mind negates most of the benefits of the UI.

The reason I mention Crestron is that I have half a dozen wired and wireless panels in the house. Getting to try this ahead of a system purchase is unlikely methinks.

It's time to gird my loins, put on a trench coat, sunglasses, false beard and a fedora and take a stroll to my 'friendly' dealer...
