Well, I did the same thing and received my 1050 just before the 4th. However, I'm not actually holding out for the 950; I'm holding out for the upper line preamp.

With all the uncertainty about DVI and Firewire and with my patience growing thin, I just decided to upgrade my old equipment in a cost effective manner.

I've been very pleased with my 1050 so far and I'm sure it will suffice until I "feel the need" to upgrade again.
