Pretty slick list! I'd say that's a good foundation list for a successor to the 950 almost without exception. For a 1050 successor (which would presumably inherit a price tag similar to the 1050's original $600 since the 950/7100 combo takes care of the $1000-$2000 receiver bracket), I think that you could probably sacrifice some items in exchange for price and better implementation of other items.
