I wish I got in on that deal - it's definitely a no-brainer for $1500 - its MSRP was $4000.

That's an almost 4 year old pre/pro. Like cars and receivers, pre/pro's go down in value, quite a bit, with age. And unless it's updated, a pre/pro that old is somewhat out of date, compared to the newer models.

I might get a 4 year old amplifier, to save some money. Amplifiers don't change as much. But pre/pro's and receivers (the pre/pro part of receivers, that is) do change with time, noticably. Good luck!
