True and valid argument. But I deliberately made this choice. If I would ever choose to rearrange my setup I could end up with 'empty rails' but I don't consider this an issue personally. If I'd someday end up with all rails empty I'd just sell the Hynes (I didn't pay the new price so wouldn't need to face considerable write offs). We all swap other devices as well and this device is no different to me in that regard.
Thus far I've always seem to have had a need for external PSU's in my system and the number of active external PSU's plus those 'in storage on a cupboard or in a box' waiting for a possible purpose is increasing rather than decreasing.
Another thing, if the microRendu doesn't outperform my current DIY music server solution I can use the Hynes PSU to power it as well. Should be a nice upgrade too.
Changing the voltages should be easy, though it needs to be done inside the device but this doesn't scare me in the least. Paul wrote this about it: "Any future voltage adjustments would be internal but it is simple enough to remove the back panel to slide the lid out of the extrusions allowing access.".
Regarding the waiting time for the microRendu, hahaha, I don't hope so!
