Speaking of which, can someone at Eventide tell me if the H9000 is still on schedule for this April or May? Even a "don't know yet" is helpful so that I can time the sale of my remaining items. 

Yes, the H9000 is still on schedule for us to begin shipping units around April and May.  We apparently have a number of pre-orders booked already, even though we normally don't solicit pre-orders, and it might be that all of the units we have on hand in that timeframe might go towards fulfilling those pre-orders.
