Re: Sierra .5?
I'll have to admit I wouldn't be in the market for this.
The Sierra-1 is small enough as it is for fronts (maybe too small?), and with the death of DVD-A/SACD, multi-channel sound represents < 0.1% of released music today. I just checked recently, and I saw maybe 25 or 30 blu-ray multi-channel music titles (out of thousands of records released annually). Point being, anyone that's heard a 200SE do surround sound and not really have to do much multi-channel music knows that they're more than up to doing the task.
If I could choose Dave's next project, it'd be the Sierra-2. It'd beat the 340SE in everything, and then some. I can't bring myself to go Sierra-1 because of the give and take that happens coming from a 340SE.

Surrounds - HTM200SEs (x4 in back, and x2 Atmos)
Sub - SVS PB-2000
Receiver - Onkyo TX-RZ1100
