They did mention that they would release a companion pre-pro for the A1400-8 which never materialized, but I don't think anyone was too disappointed considering they hadn't released any details about it other than they were working on one, and I'm sure we'd all rather they didn't release one unless it could really compete against the other options out there. I would still like to see more companies offering reasonably-priced pre-pros, but I can certainly understand why there are so few.
