UPDATE:

After considering all the comments on this thread and a nice long chat with two Bose Customer Service folks, I've decided that 2 Compacts are the way to go.

Now the question is how to best acquire them? And, what to do with my L1, model 1 and the Tonematch???

Getting the new Compacts is the easy part...

L1's look to be going for between $1400 & %1600 on Ebay, with or without the Tonematch mixer.

I spoke to Guitar Center about their buy your used gear program and it works something like this. They look up the price for sold/used identical units on their website. Then, they consider the last 3 sold units on Ebay. They then average all the prices together and typically offer 50-60% of that number. Which likely means my $2500 Bose l1, m1 + Tonematch gets handed over for $600-$800 bucks...

Hmmmm....

Thoughts?
