What’s the retail cost difference between a Ref6 and Ref6Se?  Maybe ARC will update your to a SE for the difference?

I always thought that a company's "reference series" of products was their best effort.   It would appear that this is not the case with ARC.  As soon as ARC releases a new Ref X component it is followed up with a SE model which implies they could have done better. From a marketing standpoint, it would make more sense to release the standard model along with the SE model at the same time allowing the consumer to make an informed choice at time of purchase.
