My guess is that moving to a D400 would be better value for money. I think double the power would trump the gains touted for the D220 pro.
My dealer offered me a nice price for an 200 Companion (same as upgrade price). So I decided to go for that instead of upgrade. I'm convinced that it is more SQ for the money
I'm very much leaning in the same direction but am hesitant to jump until we start hearing reports about SQ of the new 220 Pro. Also a bit concerned about long-term support of the non-upgraded Experts with respect to firmware and streaming.
