I seem to misunderstand how Sooloos works, but why do you need a C15 if you have a ID40? I thought the ID40 is a Sooloos client (core)? Or do you just use the C15 as 'remote control' and could this be replaced with an iDevice?
"client (core)" is a misunderstanding. "Client"=Zone. In network terms, the Core and Storage make up a server, the Zones are clients.

The Core and a Zone are in the same box in Control 15, Control:10, Ensemble, but don't have to be.

MS600 and ID40 and Source 1/5 are all Zones without any core or storage. They need Control, Core and Storage elsewhere on the network to work. So in terms of cost, the minimum for an ID40 to work is an Ensemble with PC/iPad/iPod control: in terms of simplicity, the minimum is Control 15 (including control, core and storage in one device).

AFAIK.
