Given all the rumours, speculation, "leaks", insider information, talk, jibber/jabber etc it is possible that any firmware update could be both substantial (and worth while), and while is no doubt some "cut and paste" from developments/improvements elsewhere in the R system there will have been some development and integration costs.

So will be charged for? Could it? maybe even should it - after all a worthwhile Firmware up grade is bound to be cheaper than the subsequent hardware improved R5II.

And too some payments to cover costs make gain some financial now return than seeing no return until the new R5II is shipped.

What do others think?

Egad, don’t even suggest this!!!  

I would indeed appreciate anything that takes the R5’s operation closer to the R6ii, but I want it for free!
