Outlaw has said the 978 will be "state of the art." I hope the only difference between the 978 & 998 will be Trinnov vs. Audyssey XT32. I don't want to buy the 978 only 6 months later wish I had waited for the 998 because it has a different feature set than the 978. I just don't want them to intentionally "hold back" features for the 998.
