False choices. You have more choices.

Would you want raw chicken or a 5 Guys (or Shake Shack) Burger? Sheesh, go with the burger.
BTW, you don't need that internal temperature. Sous Vide can give you better food at lower temperatures... but you hold it there longer. Like smoking.
Trouble here is, it's not "poisonous meat or not". We have choices:

• Wait an indeterminate amount of time for something already way overdue, that may or may not ever come out.
• Get a nearly-identical, possibly buggy version at a lot less money from a competitor
• Buy a decent receiver and get more functionality, perhaps with less fidelity but close enough that nearly nobody can tell, for a lot less money
• Buy said receiver and, eventually, upgrade to an Outlaw amp while using said receiver's pre-outs

The only choice that will kill you is to eat the raw 976.
