what I'm hoping for is a price drop on the r10. I don't need whatever the newer .1 brings to the table.

ok, just confirmed a few things.

Yes the DSB-R will work fine and update the r10.1 without a hitch. Firmware is same as the r10pro's. I checked loaded version against the download ones and its same. Just updated my r10.1 to stock firmware and no problems.

Not to sound like and @ss but I'm sure us regular Joe's can't even tell the difference. I say keep the R10.0 until you can really see and feel a difference.

I just got one along with the new programming box. I will be testing it side by side with the old r10 and will do a review in a week or so.
