Equally, the key issue for me is that if I don't upgrade my 400's where does it leave me? When will the software versions stop supporting my 400? Are they going to be very hard to sell if I try to move them on as buyers may think they are obsolete?
They really have done this whole upgrade thing back-to-front. When I think about how Linn did the Radikal for the LP12, they gave a few demos to the top dealers who did customer open days where people got excited, posted on forums etc. Then they did a tour around the UK dealer network over a month or so when more people got to hear it and orders rose to a very high level. No gamble, we all heard what the difference was over a Lingo/Hercules etc and were happy to pay.
This is just the opposite, they obviously just assumed all users would blindly update without demos, which as per this forum is not going to happen.
