I've been on the fence about getting into room correction software and Focus Fidelity has been high on my list. Would love to see them have a big Black Friday sale as an impetus for me to get off the fence. Anyone had a chance to use Focus Fidelity in comparison to other such software?

I can highly recommend Focus Fidelity Designer and it’s not just the great software but in addition the high value of David providing an oustanding support and his knowledge to get the best for your room.
As mentioned here, to achieve a similar result that would need months of investigation and a lot of time and energy.

New year update from Focus Fidelity. Great to see further improvements becoming available:
Happy New Year from Focus Fidelity.
Version V1.10.6.0 of both Impala and the Filter Designer is now released.
The changes include,
The addition of automatic update checks makes it easier to keep up-to-date with the latest versions, ensuring you always get the best results.
Impala will show a warning dialogue if excessive clock drift, more than 100ppm, is detected during measurement. Excessive drift may indicate other issues with the measurement, such as an audio streaming issue.
Impala includes improved error detection with WASAPI audio streaming.
The filter designer includes minor improvements to filter gain scaling. The software is less sensitive to where the overall target curve level is placed.
The user manuals include some minor updates to the content based on customer feedback and questions.
Finally, the reduced audio volume with the correction filter engaged is a question that comes up fairly often. The volume reduction is normal and is to be expected. With the filters in the signal path, music will be quieter than without the filters, usually by about 6 to 8 dB. You will need to turn your volume control up to compensate.
