I think upgrades costing the same for 120 and 200 owners will upset their biggest user base. Im sure many (like me) bought a 200 for the extra facilities 'just in case' even if they weren't necessarily used (option to add a companion, phono option, etc) and for better resale for the same reason. Making the upgrades the same price on both models essentially kills the used market for 200's as everyone with any sense would get a 120 and upgrade it. Plus is just seems plain unfair. It's logical and illogical at the same time. Taking all that into account, Devialet will almost certainly do it.
In any case by your logic, shouldn't everyone be able to upgrade from a 120 or 200 to a 250 (or 400 to 800) by just paying for a new case and keeping their previous innards? Now that I would go for (and then sell it).
