Anyone visit the Smyth Research room?

Did anyone try out the Realiser which emulates any measured speaker system through headphones? I have one myself and love it.
I was all set to fly over from Dublin on Saturday for the day but had to cancel at the last moment. I was looking forward to my second visit to the show, and meeting the Smyth guys as they've been very helpful with any issues or queries I've had.
Hopefully I can get to the Manchester show later in the year. Are the two shows comparable, is one better than the other, or have a different focus, say Home Theatre versus Hi-Fi?
Yes, I tried it out; incredibly the Realiser delivered laudably convincing surround sound through stereo headphones!! I was completely sceptical until I gave it a listen.
Cheers,
