I think you're right Rooster. I just sold an Alto (no Vault) and had it paired with a Strato/Terra for the year+ I owned it. Always had a single menu and never had a co-star - and movies on the Alto played as seamlessly on the Strato as from the Terra.
Also, IME, Only way to "direct" HD and SD movie downloads to the Alto with a 6/12 TB Strato (or Terra) in the system is to unplug the 6/12 TB Strato (or Terra) and then start the d/l on the Alto. Always worked flawlessly for me - and it was great saving the Strato/Terra only for HDR/UHD (as a 6TB Alto will hold ~160 HD movies.)

fwiw, unless your attic never gets above ~75 Fahrenheit, keeping your strato there could potentially shorten its life. You may want to consider a cooler remote location.

The M300 doesn't have a disc-slot, and the M700 (when connected as a vault) will always try to import, so the option of cataloging-only wouldn't be redundant. It would only be redundant if you also have an M500.

So I have a Cinema One 2nd Gen w/ Co-Star and it lets me send all the SD and HD stuff to it while the Terra only gets the HDR. Seems crazy that the Alto doesn't have a similar feature to direct which downloads go where. I'd always been on the fence with selling the Cinema One and Co-Star to pick up an Alto to keep it in the same product line instead, but if what you say is true that sounds like a big hassle.

Hi, is your Alto still for sale? Would you ship to the UK? What is you best price, including shipping? Regards, Rob
I can ship to the UK.
I have a tentative agreement to sell (interestingly, to someone in the UK). He’s supposed to let me know today- I’ll send you a PM if it falls through
