Jaco,

Thanks for the information about your upgrade cost. Actually, when I complained about this mega price tag, my dealer said he couldn't do much about it, as there wouldn't be much margin for him.
Meridian would claim that they do most of the upgrade work, so therefore they wanted to keep the "money". He was mumbling about something around about 5% for him.

OK, the 800v2 I got from him was his demo piece so he didn't get the full price at that time. But shortly after, I even bought a pair DSP 8000s from him. He himself had picked up those as ex-demo from the German Meridian distributor, which had used them for one or two German show case events. Sure, they were price-reduced for me as well, but he for sure did not pay the full price either.

Now idea, what margins he had made with me at all, but trust me, after this amount of total revenue I generated for him, me too would have expected a little bit more generous upgrade offer.

Perhaps I should contact the German distributor directly. For sure, I'm looking for a new dealer now.
