Interface comparo: Perfect Wave Bridge v: Sonos?

I know that the Perfect Wave is vastly superior in terms of fidelity, but how does the user interface compare with the Sonos? It looks fairly similar on the iPhone, but great usability is in the details...and Sonos has it really, really nailed. Has anyone used both and can compare based on interface usability?

My understanding is that the only people who have seen the bridge interface are a few beta testers and the insiders who saw it at CES. But aside from PSA's CEO, I've not read anyone's actual comments. Even then, it still just a prototype.

I'm in the same boat as a lot of PWD users in that I have been anxiously awaiting the bridge, but I've pretty much given up on it. Life is too short. My plan now is to have my Sonos modified by Cullen, which will include an I2S via HDMI interface to the PWD. Cullen told me last week that it will be available in a couple of months, and I am hopeful that they can deliver on this schedule.

Thank you for the info. I'm eagerly awaiting my Cullen-modified Sonos now. :-)

I don't know what's up with McGowan. He'll tell anyone that wants to listen, that the great thingy is coming(along with five other great things)and then get side-tracked with something else.
The Lens was supposed to be here months ago(actually back in '97)and got bumped for the Bridge which isn't here either and he can't tell you when it's coming eventhough he's in charge! He needs to focus on one core item at a time.
He may soon start to lose market share with this new product/no news/I don't know when BS.
