I exchanged some tweets with K, and it seems like this is the deal: 4K is what's ahead. It will be a long rollout, and just like when iTunes started a bunch of music was missing but now it is all there, it will take some time but eventually the vast majority of movie content will be available on the store. This makes the disks not needed except for a small group of titles, and the disk rips not required as well for the majority of movie watching. Along the way, if we buy a Stratos with storage it becomes the 4K server and player in one while the premiere line runs side-by-side with it. Eventually all the major studios are on the Kaleidescape store and I have a disk vault just to store disks that still are not there.
Transferring to the Encore system is as simple as connecting the vault to the Encore system away from the premiere system, dealing with the titles that have to load from it, and watching all my content as bough from the k store...
This means that the line is drawn at 4 K with our premiere systems. Frustrating, but that's where it is.
