Couple of questions about Bluetooth communicator use

Questions for my Bluetooth communicator friends:
Let's say that 6 friends regularly ride together and all have Bluetooth headsets they use for group intercom conversation. Then a new model communicator comes out that is easier to set up for large groups using an advanced mode. 4 members of the group buy the new units, which of course can connect to each other, but can also connect to the two older units.
1. Do you expect that all 6 friends would still be able freely talk to each other as a single group? Y/N
2. If the two friends with the older units could only talk to one of the friends with the new units, not hearing the conversation among the other new unit users, would you consider that to be a problem? Y/N

Yes and Yes! It seems like planned obsolescence by the manufacturer to force people to fork out more duckies for the new unit.

1. That depends on what you mean by "expect". If you mean, do I think it *should*, then yes. If you mean based on experience and reviews, then no.
2. Yes. Well, that depends, too. I mean, there are some people I might not mind not hearing :-)

Yes and yes.....I still compare helmet to helmet Bluetooth communication to use of a cell phone. One person has an iPhone and can still call others using a different brand phone. With things like Siri, one can even just use voice commands to not only control their phone, but also lights, the TV, the alarm system, etc. in your home. If your car is connected, then in some cases you can remotely start your car or control the locks and controls in it! I can connect my phone to my car and take calls over the car’s sound system with the push of a button.
Motorcycle helmet communication systems are in their infancy.
