If I had $3000 earmarked to a new SSP I would definitely be tempted by the Anthem AVM30, with the intention of upgrading to a AVM50 and getting SSP and video scaling in the same unit. 'Pretty unique combination so far, but seems natural to me. Not $4K - $5K nice though...I'll be waiting a few years I guess and happily enjoying the 990 in the mean time.
