I cant bear going to a 800 series anything. I think Meridian rapes people on the 800 upgrades.
Scott,
This is not the feeling i have with my 800 series. I have to work hard to afford them. But the cost of the upgrades do not worry me. Perhaps the upgrades are not cheap, but with another brand you end up trading in a unit and write off the same amount of money.
Further, a 8xx series unit has become quite expensive the last 2 years, it seems M raises the unit price with the same amount of money it charges its existing customers for upgrade to that version.
That seems strange, but is nice for existing customers.
