If we upgrade our R1 sensors, will we still have to make an immediate decision on when to trade up when Epic starts to ship? Or do we have an indefinite time period in which to enjoy the upgrade before adding or trading for Epic?
You always have the option of stage 2 for $19500 (IIRC) and keep your RED versus trade in stage 3 for $10,500. So if you can resell your R1 for anything more than $9K you are ahead of the game. I have a hard time believing that an MX upgraded R1 won't bring at least $9K. But even if you could only get say $7K you still would have had use of the MX sensor for that time period for $2K.
I have some minor questions about the upgrade program specifics, but because of the above scenario, all of this handwringing about whether RED should give an additional trade in if you upgrade the sensor seems to me a little silly.
