Anyway, I'll echo other questions about how hard in the future will it be for us to get replacement parts such as faceplates, handles, knobs, etc...?? From the sounds of it, it may be quite some time before anything even CLOSE to the MK2 comes out on the market from anybody again. That means I have to find a way to make my MK2 keep on ticking for a long time into the future.

I have to say...that I am very very dissapointed as well. after spending $2000 for a MK2, expecting many future updates, upgrades and at the very least ongoing support...it will be very sad when the day comes that it doesn't work any more or the faceplace is cracked and I can't replace it or some such thing...and nothing else remotely comparable to buy to replace it either.
