I don't share the same sense of anticipation that some do in waiting for, and wanting, another upgrade to the Pro series of amps. Personally, I'm totally satisfied with what has been delivered. I do, of course, hope that a super-solid smart device app comes along, and that other niggles addressed.
I'm just pitching in to suggest that you look for threads about the Pro and CI upgrades and sound quality. There are quite a few from the fall of 2016. I think you'll find my posts especially compelling and of the highest quality.
I know that @Wdw upgraded his 400 to a 440 about the same time that I went from a 120 to a 220, and our reactions were very similar. Look for his posts on the upgrade to get a very good sense of the differences in sound quality.
Just in general, I think that for most of us who went from an Expert to a Pro and then the CI version, the difference was profound and, on balance, very desirable. Not everyone felt that way, and so do look for posts from members who preferred the Expert presentation to that of the Pro. It is a totally reasonable opinion as we all have individual preferences, as well as different rooms and associated equipment.
