Ain’t stopping the rest of us.There are probably 2 or 3 among us who could make the case for literally “needing” one, if that.
I know, I know, LOL, sometimes I can be a good guy and buy gear just because it's gear but I'm baiscally a bad guy.
I already own an Helix Floor and I'm not even palying digital these days.
I'll buy one in the future, I'm sure I will.
I think we're all collectively betting that the Stadium follows the same development path that the Helix did.
As they say - past results are not indicative of future performance.
DI could leave; YGG is a big company, they may decide a different direction...who knows. Hopefully, it all works out....especially at this price point!
I'm personally hoping for more boutique amps (Cornford, Morgan, Naylor etc.), best in class amp and OD pedal modeling, and better FX (reverb is not up to par with rest of competition).
Past that, I think the Line6 interface works extremely well for me. I know people have stated that the NDSP QC has the easiest-to-use interface, but I've had zero issues with how L6 implements things and can tweak on the fly with ease.

You just gave JNC an idea for a new "We need to talk about..." video.
The thumbnail: "ERIC KLEIN LEAVING LINE 6? I WISH I KNEW THIS BEFORE PREORDERING THE HELIX STADIUM"

@Digital Igloo What did Uli offer you to leave Line 6? Explain yourself! 
I'm canceling my Stadium Floor preorder.

Hmm is it the Bluetooth editing ?
The interactive Hype and Focus demos were cool and a great way to "experience" the unit a bit before you actually buy it.
I will say the Hype demos had me scratching my head. Only differences on the vintage amps I could clearly hear between Hype at 0 and Hype at 10 were volume jumps. For the high-gainers, I heard some mid scooping to go along with the volume and presence bumps. Confirms for me that I'll likely not be using it.
Focus View, on the other hand, was nifty as hell. Saw good use cases for most of the focus zones across all six amps.

Helix Stadium Family amp and effects processors leverage powerful DSP and the entirely new Agoura modeling methodology.

These seem to be the same clips from before on youtube - but on second listen here - gotta say that they sound excellent. A real tactileness and weight to the tones.
I don't hear anything hyped at all - which I SUPER appreciate.
