Hey graham, welcome to the site!

You'll probably get whatever is in the engineers van, but there are several versions about.

1000 - pretty darned good, the bogstandard, phono out box.
2000 - updated on the 1000, more reliable, phono outs as well, I've got one and the intreractive can be ropey, but it's a very stable box.
4000 - you got one of them! No phono out, generally.
Samsung - Oooh, shiney! it's silver, it;s got all you want, but in short supply.

The engineer who did my installation was good enough to swap what he was going to use for a 2000 so I could have phono out... they'll have two or three in there so it depends on what's available!

None of them are particularly bad though.

Good luck, let us know how you get on.
