"Dieter's responsibility"..?   What is that supposed to mean? It's not his
responsibility to do anything.  I'm not saying it's his moral obligation to
do this.

 

If you've been reading this thread all (which by your comments I guess that
you have not), the point was that we would likely buy more modules (which is
his core $) if there were cheaper means to mount them.

 

Also, if you've been reading the thread, the proposal was FOR a cheaper
options, namely mounting rails.

 

I'm not asking doepfer for a FAVOUR, it's suggestion to be able to :

1.	make his customers happy 
2.	give him the ability to focus on selling more modules
3.	allow his customers to put the $ into more modules instead of a $350
box to mount them (INTO ANOTHER BOX I might add)

 

it make business sense, especially he makes almost no money on the G6's.
The most basic business strategy is to put your efforts into what gives you
the highest margin. Business 101 rule #1.    This idea accomplishes that,
PLUS allows him to sell more modules.

 

If you made 20% margin on one thing (G6's) and 40% margin on another
(modules), which would you rather people buy??

 

I'm sure this is a question dieter gets REALLY tired of answering "why are
you G6's so much, is there a cheaper way??".  DEAL with it.  Give your
customers what they want, ESPECIALLY if you can make more money at it.
Basic business 101 rule #2.  

 

In any case, if this isn't obvious, I give up :-)

I don't know that it's Dieter's responsibility to offer an ultra cheap 
rack. His rack is competitively priced with Analogue Systems. If you're 
into DIY check out http://www.vectorelect.com/    in the USA. I think 
you'll find that there really aren't many cheap options for this form 
factor.

On a side note I have found that some of my Doefper modules fit into a 
Blacet rack.
