For D120 to upgrade to 220 pro, it cost now 4490€! They can also change the chassis and the remote for 2500€ more...
There will be some squeals of outrage as well as delight, but personally, I think this is great. The upgrade to the 220 is more than it was last year, which will prompt outrage, and the path to the 140 is quite a bit less than last years 220 upgrade, so happy noises with this option. Not bad at all from my perspective; it keeps the value up for the D120 by opening up a less painful path to staying current with the new hardware. Sure, I'm easily impressed, but I think this deserves a nod of appreciation.
