Based on the UK prices its a bloody good deal.
120 owners are the only ones able to jump to the next model up in the range without paying anything additional.
D-prem owners are next best, since according to all the posts on these forums the period of eligibility to upgrade to the current model (at the time) ended yonks ago. So what was a pretty much an outdated model can now be brought bang up to date for the same price as everyone else.
Neither upsets me particularly as I was never going to upgrade anyway - I'm glad for everyone getting a good deal.
But it doesn't follow any real common sense logic from an entire customer base POV.
Other than the few that will lways upgrade to the latest and greatest, I can't see anyone rushing to upgrade since Devialet are pretty much saying "just bide your time as there's a good chance you'll be able to bring your old model bank up to date at some point in the future". Anyone that upgraded previously from D premiers- not because they wanted the new features, but because they didn't want to be left without an upgrade path - must be feeling a bit miffed?
