It would allow them to lower the price of the Pro upgrade and let users decide later if they really want the streamer board upgrade. Why would I want to pay for an upgrade now that won't be available until next year, much less know what that upgrade will actually consist of, how it will sound and how it will be handled.
If anyone has any insight on this, please share...
From their accountants POV it's probably far more desirable to get between 3K and 5K from every owner, and then make a streamer board for as little as possible to fill the '1,500 euro value', than it is to sell a load of upgrades at 1,500.
They are also then in the relatively unheard of luxury of having your cash in their bank accounts upfront to fund the device…..(or use elsewhere). Sort of like a luxury kickstarter, but without any info about what you're investing in, or when its coming beyond the year. Seems like there's plenty of people not really bothered about it though and will upgrade regardless, and hats off to 'em.
