As an owner of Non-SL DSP8000's and the dreaded 7000s (which I bought used because they were so reasonably priced) I applaud M for providing upgrades. I probably won't upgrade my DSP8000s due to economics, but I appreciate that the upgrade is available. Neither my automobiles, televisions, watches, nor any other expensive devices I own have ever offered such an upgrade path. Congratulations, Meridian. You continue to set yourself apart.
