Re: 520 model debate

Dave  upgrade is  fine but you  do not say  what your 
interactive  was on the 820. Given your  1000CPW system covers you 
interactive needs plus  ??% forecast growth then fine.
If  you  can forecast  the growth into a 2400 CPW system then  take 
advantage of the 820 upgrade program
incentive which is  generous until the  end of the month.
