    New Mega Live System going to be awesome!

    Anyone else hear the Helix and Solix are being discontinued for 2025? To be replaced by a single touch unit line. The Apex will remain. Perhaps this new unit and Apex will operate the new Mega live plus system, which may replace the mega 360 also? Thus the rebates we just saw on these products. Sounds like the software for these new units is going to be streamlined, rather than all the versions they have across product lines today which will simplify things greatly and eliminate glitches, etc. Potentially, an impressive overhaul for HB.

    I could see them combining the Apex/Solix into one line, but don't see the Helix line going away. IMO that's their entry level, affordable product to get people into the brand.

    Those who know, don't talk. Those who talk, don't know.

    With that said, I could see a world where there is a single product line with the Solix/Apex operating system and a single redesigned product line, with the Helix operating system... with touch screen added.

    Until they get things figured out with software I'm all for narrowing down all the combinations. Fix one thing break another every update. Gets old.

    I have 2 G4N Helix but still have 1 G2N all Networked with my ML. Would love to replace the G2N with a new version of a Helix then also get the newer Network switch

    Generally, I take the "did you hear" statements with a grain of salt. But, since they just sent out an email extending rebates and sales through the end of June and calling it a father's day sale, this one could come true.
    Helix 9 and up are discounted along with all solix and mega live. Small helix and mega 360 have rebates.
    Just guessing based off that I'd agree the apex stays untouched. Either a new helix and solix or as mentioned above a new line replacing them both while the helix 5 & 7 stay as a budget option and m360 stay as is.
    Mega live 2.0 could also be coming.
