The point to me is that we all know Slim and it has an certain
reputation for high quality sound, but is a bit of a geeky product.
LogiTech have another brand image, which is for PC products and some
people have good experience of them. We're in the know and we can make
wise choices. I bought my device after a lot of research and steered
clear of PC solutions - I wanted an audiophile product from a dedicated
HiFi specialist, not a global electronics giant with different criteria
for success.

Now if I'm an audiophile completely new to networked audio and walk
into a store and see a LogiTech product and a Sonos product, I may
think "LogiTech do PC peripherals and PC sound is generally awful, so I
think I'll take a look at this Sonos (or Sooloos) product, whoever they
are".

It may not be fair, but we are loaded with preconceptions about
products based on brand and appearance. This often steers purchases
towards the familiar and safe option. Slim built up a reputation,
changing to LogiTech could throw that away.
