I had it for about six months and truthfully I didn't think it was anything special. I sold it for about what I paid. Shelling out $1600 now would be a huge overpay.

The Jumbo Shrimp (version with remote and some other changes inside) would be a good deal at $1,600. i use one in my office system and really like it.
