Since Meridian is a reasonably closed system I don't see how disclosing their plans for the 800 series and G series would provide the slightest benefit to a competitor....do you seriously think some other organization would provide a solution for Meridian...and thus loose sales....I don't think so. In the past 20 years or so...through all the market/performance standards has anyone offered anything to replace Meridian devices... the only competition is from organizations that are more responsive and supportive...that likely will cause a reduction in the market opportunity for Meridian....
