We can't afford what WE want..!

I've seen some people's shopping list, multi-track recording, VST instrument support, 76's, you name it. If we assume that a simple, VERY minor upgrade is what is really likely, and let's assume the price doesn't drop radically (fat chance!) then basically something almost EXACTLY the same as a T3 will cost, let's say roughly $3500, now start figuring out what all those EXTRAS would do to the price...

And you thought the Audya's were expensive!
