Of course, I understand that measurements do not convey the full picture. But even based on subjective/ear review, ljokerl, and several other reviews I vaguely remember reading back in 2013 when the RE-600 came out, mentioned that the RE-600 sounded darker in the top-end, especially upper treble, than the RE-400.
If this is the case, I'd be inclined to pass on the otherwise excellent Black Friday deal, because when I auditioned a friend's RE-400, I did find the upper-treble to be noticeably south of neutral, lacking some of the expected air and treble shimmer and brilliance in recordings that I know very well, or have produced or mixed myself. That was my only complaint about the RE-400, during that audition.
i had read the same - and then i listened to it and said 'always trust your ears'
also, at 200$ you have 0% of not selling it here if you don't like it and having a loss
i hated the re400 but love the re600 - and i have tried the whole re-xxx line
once more, for 200$ this sounds like april fool's day sale
