I remember the conversation, and I believe it was Bkirby who had some inside info possibly.
For what it is worth, I have checked with JK Labs and the pricing for their gefell system is:
for the box is $890, and the cables/cap connections were $590....30% prepayment for them to get started working. Estimated lead time 8-10 wks
Depending on whether the rumor of MG coming up with a solution, I may pull the trigger on the JK system fall of this year.
