why is nobody buying the meridian 565 for 1200 on audiogon?


I saw this proc on one of the searches....to me it is one of the most appealing deals i have ever seen....unfortunately at this very moment i dont have the money...but is there a catch...since meridian is offering software upgrades for this proc and this is arguably one of the finest for the money...why is no one buying it?
i heard meridians are hard to setup...but how hard could it be? what else could be the reason why no one has taken this proc....i just want to know before i sink in my money (hopefully not my sorrows) into this amp

The 565 for $1200 does not have the Z3 upgrade which allows it to do DTS and 7.1 surround as well as take advantage of many of the improvements and extra features (variable crossovers, 24-bit digital input, etc) available in the current version 6 software (in EPROM). The last version of the software it can run is 3.9. The Z3 upgrade costs $995, so to get it current the total cost would be $2195.
