Advice Needed: Bluesound Node vs Vault

I'd like to ask for some advice/feedback for anyone knowledgeable about the Bluesound Node and Vault. I'm trying to decide between the two and I can't understand why the Vault costs what it does. From my point of view (please correct me), you pay $700 more for the Vault to get a CD ripper and a 2TB hard drive (which costs $65 on Amazon), and LOSE wifi support. I get that it can be more convenient to stick CDs into the Vault to rip them, but outside of that why would I (or anyone) not just buy the Node and rip my CDs using my computer? There are pretty simple ways using software to get a bit perfect rip using a computer. If the Vault was $200 more I could see it, but I'm totally lost why that product has a $700 markup over a Node. Thanks in advance for any feedback!

I, too, have been having issues with my Bluesound app/Nodes.
Spotify and Deezer have skipping. To their credit, both companies(Spotify and Bluesound) have been pursuing the issue, though it still hasn't been corrected.
@mahler,
I suggest you contact Bluesound and request a TimeViewer session. They can take control of the app and see what is going on, as well as try to reset everything. I don't know if they can remotely connect while you are at work, but there might be a way.

Though you have to wait to get a Teamviewer appointment, they do allow you to set the time to whatever is convenient for you.
