The Altitude CI will become available to purchase 'late November'.

Here in the UK, 25th November is 'Budget Day'. In advance of this date, the Chancellor's reported 'kite flying' measures include a possible VAT increase.

If we assume a modest 5% VAT increase...

Fully populating 1 x AES/EBU output will cost an additional £632.70, and,
Fully populating 2 x AES/EBU outputs will cost an additional £1,016.20.

As with all such Press speculation, there might or might not be a VAT increase.

While some dealers are taking deposits for Altitude CI's, I've had it confirmed that the distributor will accept payment in full at the current price via your preferred dealership before 25th November.

You might decide to risk waiting.
You might not have the funds.
You might take such an increase on the chin.
You might say that it's an irrelevance, as you can buy additional channels later, but it might not be at the current price.

Whatever you decide, you have the option to avoid a potential price increase before the Altitude CI even officially sees the light of day.
