Just beware of the "grass is always greener" syndrome. Since the Que is a brand new device and nobody has gotten any real world experience with it, we don't really know if it's any better than the DR1000. Most products will look great based on the companies demos/etc, but they don't always reflect what the real product will be like in normal usage conditions. We also don't really know what support will be like either.

FYI, Que's website says they plan to start shipping in mid-April.
