whenever it is, that the 950 is "in-stock" and "fixed", sell the 1050 for a modest loss and get the 950 for the "family discount" price of $850.

While no other DPL2 pre/pro can touch the 950's price, and while the 950 is a new design, the 1050 on the other hand is getting long in the tooth. There are other receivers that can do more (like DPL2 which the 1050 doesn't) for about the same money as the 1050.
