Well it was only a couple of hundred pounds more than the MS200 and offers so much more from a technical perspective. I would expect to pay £750 for a better looking MS200 and more for a better looking 218.

Meridian seem to be criticised for making expensive products that are out of reach for the new buyers. In my opinion the 218 is the best value piece of kit that Meridian supply.
