Mike Riley:
Thanks for responding to my questions posted on 6/7 - even though you were incorrect in your comments about JandR selling/delivering the Sony. I also appreciate the your comments and those of others, as well as Daniel's diligence and hard work. I too work (sales) for an entrepreneurial software company, and agree with your comments about Crisp Solutions/Uli is trying to accomplish.

The narrowed price difference between UCommand and the Sony AV2100 through JandR make the choice between the two considerably more difficult from my perspective. On the one hand, the 2100 is a much improved 2nd generation product, but bulky; The UCommand appears to be an enhancement of the previously unimpressive Rotel 990 (hence it may also be considered 2nd generation?), but I am unclear about the UCommand's genesis - who is the actual builder and who is maintaining the product development? That said, I admittedly have a bias to small companies with innovative products/services who demonstrate a superior commitment to customer support -the initial hallmark of Crisp Solutions.

I will enjoy monitoring this and the Sony thread, Crisp Solution's web site, and look forward to Daniel's evaluation of the UCommand.

Cheers,
-Doug-
