@SilverEars - I'll be very interested to hear your thoughts when you get the tour kit. We may have slightly different tastes as I prefer the pro, but I prefer the Viento to the non-pro. It brought me back to the clarity/transparency of my old pro and maybe further. My new pro has more bass decay giving it a very natural feel, but lowers the transparency on the lows in exchange for much more fun and maybe less scaling ability. The non-pro felt like it was more rolled off in the bass rather than the pro which felt much more extended down low which is why I liked the pro better. Both pro and non are very extended up top, so the non seemed bright shifted rather than bright (treble enhanced). Rather than hearing v shaped, I feel the pro is very balanced with strong clear, but meaty mids - but the mids do not jump out like with the Zeus nor is it as wide as the Zeus/A18 which take the cake.Their older versions had more of a V shaped sig(not sure if pro existed back then, but NT6 had more of the V characteristics with peaky treble parts), but I think with the later revisions the treble got leveled off, and the difference between the pro and the non-pro is the bass elevation level.
I'd have to hear the Viento, but it seems the brightness got reduced more with it. From what understand, I shouldn't expect dark, and hope it's at the right level as always had hoped for my ideal response.
Proedros, my memory of NT6 is same as your, I would describe as transparent.
