Well, I wouldn't go as far as that yet, Johnnie. I had a 9000 with my 6000 for a time, and I had a 9000pro with my 6500 for a time. I thought the 9000 better than eg 8000 and 6000 in relative terms in their day. It has advantages if you want a harmoniser above all else, and can put up with the styles. The 'session' type styles added on the pro were in direct response to complaints about the styles in comparison to the competition. More of these are promised on the tyros.
A taste of what the operating system ?might? resemble can be seen on the cvp209. Whether its as easy to use as technics remains to be seen. I'll wait till I've had a play with one.
