Nothing in your reasoning I can fault there @ragwo. I guess I pin my hopes on the notion that the Phantoms will not go the same way as the Expert line and end up as a tour de force of hardware potential unfulfilled by its underprioritized and underinvested software.
The fact that my 2017 Phantom Golds were still receiving more-or-less regular firmware updates when I sold them gave me cause for optimism. But I concede that in a private equity-steered company where the majority owners are dispassionate financial investors and not passionate audiophiles (although both sorts can fail, albeit usually for completely different reasons) all bets are off.
Fingers crossed!
