I've been with outlaw and only outlaw (a refurb Onkyo for the kids doesn't count) for some time now: 1050, 950, 990...and was waiting on the 997 but had that gut feeling I had with the 990, being behind the new standards. I'm fine with a delay that nets us up-to-date tech for a change. Will the 998 make it on time? I'll say no, not if history teaches us anything.

I'm not in a hurry to move on, hdmi switching and dolby modes are all I'm missing, I think I can stand to wait.
