Kabinopus you are very correct in your thoughts,.....but marketing is a strange animal with so many cooks in the kitchen involved in so many ways with alot of money involved. Bottom line is to sell sell sell and make $$$$$ as the profit window to do so is very short before the next unit is ready to be marketed to the masses and before the competition gets the jump on them and others. And if it doesn't sell they will repackage parts into another unit down the road.
It's a never ending game.
