So now you can get the P1 minus the expander minus the power supply minus the headphone monitoring for about the same price? What are you raving about?

Same thing about API: Buying 4 API 512c in a free lunch box and adding two API 550b will be more expensive than buying a 3124+ and a 5500 - at least over here in Europe. And the 5500 is much more versatile than two 550bs.

I can see the the diversity argument pro 500 series (if having only one of each is your goal), but the P1 is a single channel unit already.
limited space, remote... you can fill up to 10 preamps, comps into a 500 API rack.
