Who knows?
But you already have the ability to increase the power of a single POD HD500 or POD HD Pro, by adding a second unit and linking audio by S/PDIF (or analogue) whilst controlling the second unit from the first using MIDI control and by creating 'Big' patches by placing some of the DSP duties on the first unit and other DSP duties on the second (slave unit). This does work. I have an HD500 which I can use as the master POD and a POD HD Pro which I can use as the slave. There's a number of ways this can be configured to increase the capabilities over just a single unit.
Two POD HD Pro units mounted in a single 4U rack can work as a single device with more power if you need it now

True.... if you had it all in the same rack that is. I'd be inclined to split it so that individual parts would be easier to carry on my own - OK it might take me two journeys to and from the car/van but my back will thank me ultimately. The dual POD HD Pro units in one 4U rack case - pre-wired and then one or two DT-25/DT-50 heads and cabs.
The HD1000 doesn't exist currently, and i agree it would be nice to have all that power in a single unit, but two HD Pro units are still a lot less cash than one Axe FX/Axe FX II and may be more than sufficient for most player's needs.

How about the editing ? I think it's really easier to edit one edit then to edit two racks, also not sure how this would be handled by HD Edit ?
I'm still thinking to buy a TC GForce to fine tune my HD500 and connect via spdif, but it would be so easy to have just one unit that does it all, and some better EQ's, it must be possibe ...

That's a good point about the editing Hans. I do sometimes have the editors open for HD500 and HD Pro at the same time with both connected and that doesn't present problems, but two devices of the same type might cause some fireworks maybe. Hmmm. I don't have two HD Pro units to test that but I do have access to two HD500 units which would probably react in the same way that two HD Pro units would, BUT TBH I am at home editing directly on the hardware so that is probably the way I would do it anyway, or if I had to use the editor, I could do it using two computers, however I can because I have computers at hand and that's because it's my day job - but not everyone has multiple computers to use.
The beauty of it is that you aren't restricted in this modular format to using another POD at all if you don't want to, but of course you can.

Thanks Nick, I didin't knew it was easy to switch from two units, curious about two identical units. I think the problem may be not exactly knowing which unit is doing what using the editor and so errors might be quite easy so, one big unit would indeed be a cool solution ... and I'm pretty sure that for 1000$ there might be more users then you can think of (even coming from other brands )

Hi friends, peace to all you guys!!! All of us are users of the same "TOOL" (whatever POD HD you might have), and I think All of us are able to do what we are looking for doing with that tool, some people more than others because of their experience and of their knowledge about the TOOL they are working with. Obviously, there are some guys who would like to have more possibilities from that tool (like me), but, in spite of that fact, there are a lot of excellent things that can be already done with it for the money we spent. So it is an excellent TOOL (for me it is the best word to describe it). Just remember to respect anyone else ideas, please!!! At least, All of us are musicians, so all of us are part of the same comunity!!!!
I think the term "professional" is a very subjective thing. For me it is something you feel you are totally comfortable or happy with it, because you are able to get what you are looking for. I do not consider myself as a professional, but I am very happy, as well as the public in my gigs, with what I do, and everyday I learn something new!!!!!
Best Regards,
Daf

Well, I can totally understand your point of view, and from your own words only, you are right!!!!!
But what I understand from Gabriel is just a comparison. Because it is a fact that the Axe Fx II is more powerful than the HD 500. Anyway, I do not need an Axe FX II, with the HD 500 I am very happy!!
Best Regards,
Daf
finally someone who understands me!
Peace!!!

Sometimes I think we all take this a bit too seriously. It's just guitar, folks... No need to fight over it.
In some ways, I think the notion of whether something is a tool or a toy is a even a false dichotomy. If I'm a wealthy tycoon and I go buy a Ferrari that's ten times more powerful and expensive than a Honda Accord, it's still a toy to me. Yes, it's more powerful, has more engineering and design behind it, but for my purposes, it's an expensive play thing. However, someone who depends on the Honda Accord to get back and forth from work everyday probably wouldn't call it a toy.
Just because someone has and uses an Axe FX doesn't make them any more professional than someone who uses an HD500. Actually, it could very well be the opposite. A lot of working musicians simply don't have $2000 - $3000 laying around to spend on a modeler, but people who do music as a hobby do.
