I am extremely happy with my 950. I don’t plan on upgrading at this time. But then again, I was still using original pro-logic when I upgraded to the 950. There certainly will be early 950 adopters who will become early 950 adopters, and I’d think the budget-minded will be able to pick up a used 950.

The two features that I would like to have on my 950 are Dolby PLIIx and digital video switching. However, we are talking about a significant price difference between a new $1,100 Model 990 and a new $700 Model 950. The 990 is 57% more expensive than the 950

Outlaw discontinued the 1050 long before the 1070 came out. If they discontinued the 950, they would have no receivers or pre/pros to sell before the 990 arrived. Although it’s not state-of-the-art, the 950 is still a very formidable pre/pro. If they can add Dolby PLIIx and call it the 951, I would think Outlaw could sell both products side by side for a long time.
