Mike, we’ve discussed this point many times on this forum.Yamaha is probably the best (worst) case proving the point that manufacturing costs have no bearing on pricing. They know they have a market that will pay their high price for the Genos. My issue with it is they had an opportunity to level the playing field with the advent of new technology, a new name (Genos), a way to bring this technology to a younger audience, but they went with the same old high priced marketing approach.

Will they sell a boat load (a little pun for Gary😏), probably. But for those who want to tap into this technology without paying the Genos price, they’ll have to wait for the PSR-970 replacement.
