Looks like the Node 2i model has been discontinued; Crutchfield is listing the Node for $550. Can't see much difference on the outside - the control panel on the top is bigger. Otherwise, it looks like the same box, just $100 more. I like that it appears to actually be made in Canada - at least the don't say "made in China" on the back. Might be on the bottom, but not on the back.
