Hey, come on, guys! I feel an aura of disappointment in this post. Let's think together, has 500x a future or not. I suppose it has. Maybe even ancient X3Live has. You can drive Rolls Royce, Ford or even bicycle... If the vehicle gets you where you need to, it's only left a question of convenience and perspectives of use. Nobody stops to sell bicycle parts just because Ford announced a new model. It's all about what do you want - to get to the business meeting, drive your family to the lake on holiday or just ride a bicycle whichever the wind blows. It's about your professional level, the purpose of use, about instrument and money, even about state of mind (we're all musicians, don't let the tech overwhelm your souls ;))
