Interesting... Perhaps it's a price / income ratio or something. I mean, I make a decent income, but - I got mine on the liquidation sale for a great price, and it's been worth it. But if it disappeared for some reason, I'd be heartbroken, but wouldn't fork out a grand or more for another one.

Don't get me wrong, I love it. I also understand that the parts and labor that went into making the empegs are worth more than that as well. I'm glad they made them. I'm also glad the price dropped. I just wouldn't pay over a grand for another one.

Just an opinion mind you, just an opinion.
