That's a little unfair. They stopped selling the original blue in 2009 and kept up support until Jan 1st of 2015. I would get a Black (ES) anyway. There's a reason why the blues are much cheaper. The Black (ES) is still supported until August 1st 2019. More than enough time to get your return on investment. ES Main used w/ X-Mon a little more than a new S3.

FYI, the blues and blacks use the EXACT same software profile and will continue to work for the same amount of time. Parts however, are a different story although they probably share most of those as well.

If you are looking, I have a D Command ES main unit available in the Buy and Sell section....

Problem for Avid is, when too many get left behind it adds up to a lot of lost revenue.
