I suppose, Ensnareyou, but I fail to see the same perceived value in Wersi products that you do...but that's just one of the variables in human nature and one of the ways in which we differ.
It's not that it is a bad or poor product...it's just something I wouldn't invest my money in. Perhaps if they were made more accessible, I could see what you do, but unfortunately, I probably will never see one or play one.
The guys behind those synths you mentioned above were brilliant technicians/inventors/visionaries, but their marketing and financial management skills weren't to the same level.

The Wersi is a great product that has been poorly marketed which limits its sales. Music Store has made great strides since taking over the Wersi brand but still their demos don't show the true potential of the instrument. Robert Bartha has helped bring younger audiences to Wersi though which is beneficial. Still the majority of the demos appeal mostly to the geriatric crowd because they have expendable income.
Sorry to hear you'll make no effort to see a Wersi in person and that's a shame. Had I been that myopic in my search I'd never have purchased most of the studio gear I own.
As for the visionaries I mentioned... not everyone who designs the next best product has the financial capability to bring it to the masses. Sadly most fail and the consumer suffers from that. Fortunately the ones I mentioned did produce products that found a niche and changed history. Companies like Yamaha and Korg stepped in to buy the technology and integrate it into their future products. Sadly Yamaha and Korg watered down the original concepts to the point they bore no resemblance to the original designs.
