MMr with the standard screen looks ridiculous next to AFMr and MBr with the bigger screen for sure.

I don't plan on buying an MMr until the big screen is available for this reason alone.

Let's face it, the LE buyers back when they got them were ECSTATIC to get a new MMr and at that time, that was all that was out (smaller screen). Given the time that has passed, it seems prudent to put the larger screen in for the sake of consistency with the new line of remakes.. to deliberatly keep older tech/screen size just doesn't make much sense.

To me, if they keep the small screen MMr for $8K, they are just going for a cash grab and not putting their best foot forward for their customers, and I think sales will show it. What would be worse is if they do offer the first 2019 batch with smaller screens, THEN offer the bigger screen a few months once everyone that has been patiently waiting had already made their purchase (July/Aug buyers).
