Should you jump on it at US$1,000, or are you paying up for convenience? Against your own comps, this sits above the 75th percentile of US$971, so it reads as ambitious rather than fair, even though it’s not wildly out of line with the market’s upper end.
That said, this is the kind of piece buyers like when they need a serious multichannel pre/pro with HDMI switching and full legacy surround support in one box. The upside is practicality: it can simplify a rack, and a clean, complete unit can be worth paying a bit more for if it comes with the remote, original accessories, and verified operation on all inputs/outputs. At this price, I’d want strong proof of functionality and included extras before calling it a buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
