Well Noah, it sounds like we really aren't that far apart on this. There was another thread where people were bashing SN pretty roughly -- and I agree they deserve it.

Two years of [fill in the blank] nothing and even now more promising than delivering -- or at least that's my interpretation.

Out of the gates with a limp and a whimper.

I have been very very close numerous times to just go in another direction altogether because it is so hard to have faith in SN after such a debacle.

Still, the Trinnov option strikes me -- and I admit, not having heard it this remains a leap of faith on my part -- as one of the few products to really differentiate itself.

IMO they've been penny wise and pound foolish. The money should have been spent on a top shelf software/firmware team and gotten this out over a year ago and possibly stood alone as an option for some.

The receiver option would have been fine for me, but I am crossing my fingers and taking another leap of faith that the Outlaw implementation will be a better choice.

I am standing by, cash in hand, albeit reluctantly.

Finally coming to market now, in this economy, where people are going to be tight, is bound to be an uphill struggle. I hope this doesn't turn into a Pioneer plasma debacle for any party concerned.
