ehhh, the price is ridiculously high, as a sid owner, i'm sure u 
understand how it is :) it's a $400-500 synth.  worth that 
practically,  exists the hardsid also with the same sound, and waht 
like $150? I def think the price jack due to the "final 100" is kind 
of a really asshole move to do.  I understand supply and demand.  
but tit seems wrong to me:(
