We bought the Platinum system in our 2021 R8 Surf and I couldn't be happier with that option! The clarity and depth of sound is spectacular at all volume levels and it will blow your mind if you like it loud. The Apollo 670 vs 770 isn't that much different outside of the display being larger (I was bothered by this before I actually used the boat). What I came to realize is that I have one of the Garmin's displaying music and I control everything there. Much better UI than any head unit will be able to provide.

I have built/purchased a couple stereos on previous boats with top end JL Audio and they don't compare to the quality of the Roswell IMO

The Cobalt rep told me they are moving away from Roswell to what BMW uses for their top end sound system (Harmon Kardon possibly, but not positive).

Hope this is helpful

I have Platinum system in 2021 R8 Surf as well - although it is equipped with RF PMX 8BB (strange since I thought they were all Apollo). It is a 4-zone which is good, but for some reason I can't get the subwoofers to wake up. Roswell system sounds very good - just need more bass! Any recommendations?

Did Tuscany get a new boat? Looks like he's taking the picture
