Elektron Musical Instruments

Have you actually comp'd the synthesis abilities of a hardsid against 
the SidStation?  It's an astronomical difference in control.

As for 'asshole move', that's complete subjective -- because of this, I 
cannot argue (though I strongly disagree).  I tend not to take business 
decisions or things of commerce too personally.

What the market will accept in product pricing is 'just' in my eyes.  
If I disagree, I can take my business elsewhere -- no hard feelings.
