said by Aframe:Being that I have had both the 7000s and the 9000, the 9000 vastly out performs the 7000s. there is really no comparison.
Installation was my point,
not performance. And performance issues can be quite consistently correlated with the quality of the install. That said, I've had no significant complaints about the performance of my HN7000S system. The advertised performance specs of the two systems are identical. The plan names differ slightly, but not the prices. So - installation issues aside - my experience doesn't support a thesis that the HN9000 outperforms the HN7000S.
Which brings me back to my original statement; I skipped the HN9000 upgrade because it was harder to install. So feedback from HT1000 installers about the comparative ease of installation was one of the determining factors in my decision to jump from HN7000S to Gen4.
