Whats your thoughts on the need for this above the C306?

This machine is just another example of a manufacturer putting out an entirely new model versus allowing certain features to be added (Scan-to-Folder Helper, ID Card Copy) or made compatible (Smart Operation Panel, NFC Print or Authentication, NIC2) via Firmware or Software update. I guess they just have to keep the production lines going instead of realizing that not every customer that has an older model (C305 in this case) needs to upgrade a machine that is working well for them. Maybe...

Instead of making us stock four or 5 different systems, why can't the manufacturers give us base system and then sell us the license or the firmware to change the speed and add or take away features. Would make great sense for the dealer and the manufacturer. It's my understanding that at least from Ricoh, we are going to see fast A4 devices in 2016. That's about all I know.
