That plus the AC12 and you have close to a grand into a twenty year old processor. A used G61RSL or a new AC200 can be had for similar cash outlay of $1500.00. Either of these are quick, easy, no fuss ways to have your system up and running. As this is your first experience with Meridian equipment I would suggest this route over all the adapters and what not. It gives you the most flexibility and the least amount of grief in setup.
