I dunno, since the 990, one can't help but notice during this time frame, how many generations of the mainstream manufacturers products have come and gone with each adding newer and newer feature sets? How long would they have remained in business with three year and older product on the shelves(assuming it was even still available)? Luckily, Outlaw has many other products to sell to its loyal customers(including myself), however, realistically, the focal point of the business has generally always revolved around its Pre-Pro and AVRs and with this amount of time gone by and nothing on the horizon, to be honest, loyalty has its limits.
