Actually I'm still at one voice...I own the desktop Evo.

To reiterate, the PER has a wider market, namely ALL Evo owners. A 4-voice upgrade for the PEK would only sell to PEK users. With limited funds to manufacture and market, the reissue of the PER makes more business sense.

Ditto for a Tetra keyboard....the Mopho keys plus a Tetra will do the job without adding the cost (and risk) of adding yet another product to the line.

I've been an engineer for 30 years and find that many people underestimate the costs of developing new products.
