Time to raid those piggy banks!
Seems pretty reasonable to me, for a whole new set of internals - I was expecting to have to pay a lot more!
Strange. When I follow your link I get different prices. I'm based in the UK. :

After one year and paid 6500€ I should pay further 3499€ for the upgrade from 200 to 220 pro!? It's maybe ok for 120 owner to get additional 100 watts power - but at 200 owners only 20 - it's a bit unfair when considering the original price from Dev 120 and Dev. 200! I think about selling my Dev. 200!!!

Still, I will probably have a demo of the new 'Pro' to see (hear) whether its worth it. Alternatively I could add £3k of options to my hopefully upcoming new car...
Looks like DPREM owners have a bargain price to upgrade
EDIT - copied from my earlier post: I think it is STUPID move by Devialet to charge the same price for the upgrades of the 4 stereo amps as it doesn't reflect owner's original 'investments'. The upgrades of the dual mono amps do seem quite attractive in comparison
Given a typical dealer margin of around 45-50% on new units, it seems that Devialet will make about as much money on each upgrade as they would on a new sale. Not a bad business model, if they can get away with it.
As to whether it's worth it, I can't say, but I think I would probably prefer to move up to a higher model in the range if I was spending serious money. I do agree that the DP upgrade looks to be good value, after all.

Stupid me for buying a 200. I could have saved myself $3500 CDN in getting a 220 Pro.

I'm probably not going to upgrade my D200 at those prices, but a s/h D-Premier is suddenly looking like a good idea...
