Good points made and I personally feel that what I have achieved with my 1210 has been worthwhile, I have to admit there was a point where I felt it wasn't performing right? But that was down to poor set up on my part.

How good is my deck I can't really say but I'm happy with what I'm hearing and being totally honest with myself then yeah I'm in a good place with it at the moment.

But regarding the new G and GR models, all the reviews I've seen and read state a fundamental improvement on any previous model as stock standard as it should be given the price difference, you would expect it to be! But the bottom line is if that is the case then it's a question of whether the mods fitted to the older deck at around the same price difference bring it up to or better or falling short of the new G model? That's what we need to know.

Only a bake off can determine that, it must be worth doing surely.
