Greetings!

My personal recommendation would be not to get the Neo and get an empeg. My reasons / logic are as follows:

1) I am baised, as everyone here knows
2) There are at least three players for sale on the board at this moment ranging from $500-$700 1 2 3 4
3) If the Neo advertised is about $360, the empeg is less than double the price.
4) There are a lot of threads comparing the software features (playlists, customization, third party software) between the two, along with hardware comparisons (display, dash install depth, expandability, shock resistance)
5) There have been a number of threads from people who have had both units

It is a fair price. I do not think they originally sold for very much more than that, though. If I remember correctly, the original first sold at around $350.

Just some, admittedly biased, thoughts.
