The best way to know the outcome of the 978's performance is the results of Outlaw's testing and beta testing. If reports are good then several of us will buy. I will buy when my budget allows me. I won't wait for 30 people here to buy and then wait again until all report. I do trust Outlaw in bringing out a good product. The bugs would only need to be minimal and of no real serious consequence to the home theatre experience and they just need to be "fixable". I am sure many of us will indeed buy. For myself I just need to see and "affordable" price on the unit and I am in.
