I already have a $299 Squeezebox, so to add one more room I will add $399, for total of roughly 700, roughly 100 more than a second Squeezebox. I agree 100% though that once you get into more and more rooms it's a different ballgame, regardless of how many current SB3s you might already have, though then you get into the situation where you don't have a remote in each room. But as discussed, the big thing is that this product offers a different solution in the Squeeze line. I just wish the stuff wasn't so expensive.
