Any comments that might confirm my thoughts or sway me back towards Meridian? I am trying to like the Meridian Processors, but, I don't want to make any moves unless I can tell a definite upgrade from what I now have.

Depends on what kind of HT system you have. 7.x with multiple subs?--then yeah Lex set-up is easy out of the box.(Note I have not compared or commented on sonics. Logic7 is cool for 7.x system if you like it)

For rest I would heartily recommend Meridian- I have 5.1 and sonically Meridian was better to my subjective ears. Analog output of MC12 can be improved upon.

If you have $$ then you should get latest Lex processor which should be out soon- in terms of features (and emphasis on improving analog performce alluded to by Harman) it is miles ahead of any Meridian processor.
