I'm not convinced. If people are willing to buy such a thing, and if you are correct about $80 IPv6-enabled CPEs, I think the latter will win. So the real question for me is whether a $0 dollar download will beat an $80 purchase. Predicting customer bahaviour is hard. IMHO, we can put both on the market and see what happens.
