I, for one, would like to see the 976 hit the street just to get the threads back on the positive side. While I am disappointed in the lateness of it, I fully expect Outlaw to release it before the end of the year. If anyone NEEDS a new processor right now because of some perceived flaw in their system, go for it. There are plenty of solutions out there to temporarily get you the new codecs without getting a new processor.
