Not to split hairs, but the original promise date of the LMC-1 was in March of this year. So its still 4 months short of being a year late, let alone "well over a year."

I am also interested in this processor. The lack of features doesn't really bother me, except the one that nobody except me really cares about I think. I love the 990's ability to change the input name. Very useful. Would've liked that on the LMC-1. Seeing the 1070 without amps would be really cool too.
