I don't think there's a penalty for reinststing a lapsed plan.

A plan for a 24 fader fully loaded M10 is £1749 per year ex-tax including module swap out and the Xmon.

Overpriced IMO but that's Avid!

EDIT: Forgot to say - These prices are what I paid in the UK as of January this year.

OK. This right here is why I'll never get one. Together with the PT HD plan, that's 2k a year just to get software bug fixes, updates and tech support. Ridiculous.
