That's exactly how I feel. I don't plan on any more investment nor would I recommend them (and I have and they have bought stuff on my recommendation). I feel like I have less control over my own system. Updating your own firmware is a personal space that the dealer should not have to be involved in. It's my system. I'll install it on my timeline not someone elses. It's like working on your own car or trying different cables or tubes. You don't violate that space.
