HDMI is given. My guess HDMI 1.3a will be used for HD support.

Response between inputs is the software decoding the stream. Cambridge Audio I demoed was about 7 seconds between Input change. The Denon AVR 3802 I just replaced with the 1070 was about 2 seconds. I have no problem with the current timing.

I would agree for a bigger display and the ability to edit labels. Having Video 1-5 would be enhanced with label editing.

Firmware update via USB would be great. Building in support for the future model to recognize a USB device and supply the power could be problematic.
