I think Meridian's advantage is in their software. While the rapid advance of technology may close the gap at times (like now); the next round of innovation will widen it again. Who knows what the future holds (besides The Shadow?!) Btw- the best thing I can say of Meridian is the people I have met from their company have all been wonderful. The second best thing I can say is the products are so good that I have not wanted to see what is out there for an upgrade. How many brand X products inspire you to just sit down and listen and not look for the latest & greatest?

Best regards and Happy Holidays,
