Point taken but your comparison is suspect. Prime is a great product born of the MQA vival, apologies for the new word born before it's revival time. Apple products are not comparative and this confuses me.
Price has little to do with it, but maybe size has! Unsupported preplanned redundancy in all forms is offensive.

Edit
Just read your response Bruce and had to add the question. Where is free M Tech support available from other than from your Good Self and Rick?
Meridian divested this cost years ago.
