Becuase the MKI is hard to find and it looks hella better than a MKII in my opinion. I had the option to buy a MKI and MKII (empeg not SB) for the same price at the same time. I choose the MKI becuase its a classic. I do miss not having a eth port but hell I can say I have #301 of 350 .. Can you say that about any MKII?

Yes I am proud to own a "older, slower, blah blah" MKI!!!!!!!!!
