The HD621 does a great job at what it does, I would rather see continued development of that.
That's absolutely fine & I don't doubt that it does a great job but I also bet that the lack of HDMI inputs will discourage some potential processor purchasers. It's hard to imagine that it wouldn't.

What about having the inputs but also keeping the HD621 on the books for the purist?
