A lot of musings there Damon! I have some thoughts myself. When I read your earlier post regarding the move from the 120 to the 220 Pro, about 80% of what you wrote reminded me of the audition I had of the D800 versus the 1000 Pro. So this suggests that there is a common change from any Expert to Pro model. As for telling the difference between an Expert and a Pro, you took 30 seconds, I recall my mind being made up part way through the second track I listened too, so maybe a full five minutes for me. To be honest, I find one or two of MR Fritz's comments completely unfathomable!
