Tom and Mike - Thanks for that link, that will keep her busy and off the streets for a while ...

I think the NAD will be the winner over the H-K. Their stuff has real push buttons for the kids, and looks like the easiest to use, while still sounding great for Dad.

I got confirmation regarding pricing for a system all in gloss black, even with the EP-600, the Gloss finish for a whole system is still $1000.

The order is placed, and now the wait begins. Of course, it is summer, getting the stuff in late August would be about perfect, just in time to get them dialed in before the September GTG in Dwight.
