+1 I think that is absolutely spot on.
Now put yourself into my shoes having purchased Devialet's limited edition, anniversary edition, only to find that 3 months after delivery, a "better" higher specified model is shipping. There was absolutely "no tact or finesse", to use your exact words, in the way that the launch of the 1000 Pro was communicated. None whatsoever.
