The i50 is a really nice looking unit, and it's nice to see AR release a product available to those with somewhat more modest means. It is a little strange that they release a product for what could be described as entry-level (per cost...not in the quality sense) with manual bias setting, but requiring it be done by a technician.
The skeptic in me wonders if this is a way for AR to have consumers build relationships with dealers by design (with the benefit of recurring revenue), a'la John Deere or any modern automobile.
