In addition to the feature "suggestions" I made above (and I am adamant about their inclusion in the 978), I hope to see shallower cases on the 978/998 relative to the 990, which apparently was forced to share its enclosure with the SN R/P-965. There's simply no need for all that bulk in a pre/pro, which restricts rear access and precludes many installation options. No more than 16" deep including all front and rear projections, please.

Thanks.
