Court, thanks for that info on the new unit!!! The new model shows promise of being a great performer. Eclipse has had a HDD unit in their line-up for quite some time now so they have a great system. It's not like this is their first HDD unit that will need some bugs worked out of it. And $2700 isn't all that bad when you consider the pieces of equipment it can do the job of/replace. I paid $2600 installed for my AVN2454 a year and a half ago! and it's already outdated! Maybe i'll sell it and get a new model!
