Would there be room in the product line up for something like (based on the 581 video switcher) a G81 that would incorporate video switching (all formats including SCART and HDMI), transcoding (including RGB) and a high quality scaler and deinterlacer? And of course, extracting audio from audio/video formats (SCART and HDMI) and providing multi channel digital audio output to connect to a processor.

ie. A video centric version of the 562 with high quality scaler.

All in a slimline (DVD player height or less) G width and matching case. I have seen elsewhere someone requesting a Faroudja/Meridian scaler in a G series cabinet.

Assuming the quality was on a par with other quality scaler products and was as configurable, the ability to extract multi channel digital audio from an HDMI source would be highly desirable even to non M customers.
