I went to the training today, and was surprised by the relatively low attendance for it. In any event, the 9600 seems to be a very impressive piece. The trainer gave out a copy of the editor (finally!) and it was very informative. It seems that they took into account quite a bit of the customer installers' input. Two important notes that were brought to light were that you can no longer upload files from the remote and you can no longer program the Pronto by itself (you need a PC).

No units were available for purchase at the time, but were expected...which means they are imminent.
