I asked customer support about the 7140 back in September. At that time, they said they were in the middle of an R&D exercise with the unit. The options they were looking at were a: Improve the performance but maintain the price, b: make it more affordable or c: replace it with a different unit. They stated that 'c' was most likely and appears that is what has occurred.

I am very interested in this unit and may pick one up after the holidays.
