I cannot imagine the SB3 being discontinued without an evolutionary replacement in the pipeline to follow it up. IMO, there is still a market for a player with a display. If I could only have either a Duet or an SB3, I would choose an SB3. The usefulness of the display for weather and time is a significant feature for me. It's also quite stable.
The Duet is great but IMHO bugs are still being shaken out of it. I just ran into a scenario myself where I have 2 servers and can switch the SB3s between them but not the Duet. More major features are being added (playback through the controller) which will certainly need time to stabilize too. The SB3 must be a cash cow at this point since the guts of it were designed back when the SB2 was introduced. The thing I think they would be worried about is parts obsolescence. The Duet was introduced about a year ago and was a radical change with the introduction of the controller. Certainly they are still recouping development costs on it. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 1 duet, 1 receiver.
