One element to the second hand prices is the quality of the units, which is and is perceived to be, high. So I imagine there may be a feeling that the old UK-produced is better quality than those built in China (whether this is founded or not.) However, it's going to take a couple of years for the newer units to hit the second hand market.


Another big element to the used market (IMHO) is the fact that Meridian have fantastic post sales support, for many years afterwards (and completely independent of the original owners). So the big question is where the support would be located and whether Meridian would be able to maintain it to its present level. If not, then I imagine all used values would be hit.
