Zuki ... It is always difficult to go from the TOTL to the MOTL in anything ... It's like if you were driving a fully equipped 10 years old Mercedes Benz and went to a brand new mid range auto ... it might be newer, but not necessarily better ...
That said, I think your decision was pretty quick ... It's hard for me to imagine that the 1000 could be that bad ...
But we all have our likes and dislikes, and expectations ...
I am sure you did what is best for you ...
Best of luck with your next 3x ...

PS ... I told you I would have traded my Kn6000 for it !!!
