Assuming Outlaws are working on a next generation pre/pro, what improvements would you guys/gals expect it have over the 950?

I have been looking at the pre/pros in the over $2,000 price range. I do not see much out there that offers the features the Outlaw 950 does that justifies the more than double the price. So if there is a big brother to the 950, I was wondering what improvements or features it would have? Would these features outclass the Anthems, B & Ks, Krells, Aragons, Lexicons, Fosgates etc?

Improved bass management for multichannel?
Equilization/notch filtering?
Storable settings for each input?
Better remote?
Faceplate/volume knob options?
Logic 7 license from Lexicon?
Ultra II?
Balanced outputs?
Hydroplasmatic neural DACs?

Or could there be a "snob factor" involved? Or could it possible be appearance. Personally, I think the Aragon Stage One is the coolest looking unit out there.

How about:
- support the new digital connection to DVD-A and SACD.
- Digital AM/FM tuner

I think the biggest bang for the buck, without jacking up the cost could be:
1)Adjustable settings for each input.
2)Maybe a headphone jack.

- Automation port[s], preferably 100/TX.
- No remote option - a lot of folks just toss it anyway.
- Drop the tuner
- Digital input for DVD-A/SACD (which means it won't ship for a while)
- Either eliminate or fix the analog bass management stuff - as it is it's worse than nothing.
- More aux triggers, with extremely flexible on and off rules.
