I just talked to Matt at Wadia 2/16/04 on this very subject. The upgrade is $2k 860>861 and $2k for 861>861SE. I asked if there were any package deals and his reply was "Funny you mention that, we've been considering a package price for awhile now. We plan to finalize a decision this week and I'll call you back on it. It would be a temporary discount when both upgrades are done at the same time. The discount would amount to $500 off the total." Hope this helps.
That's alot of money to upgrade. You could buy a 861se on audiogon for under $6500. What's the going rate on the 860 of late? Perhaps with the discount, it would bring it closer, but still. Also, in terms of resale, I think there are some people don't like to purchase upgraded equipment regardless of whether it looks and sounds the same.
