just comparing here:

XD3 1259 EUR
SD3 1599 EUR
SD5 1699 EUR
AUDYA 3777 EUR
AUDYA5 3550 EUR
AUDYA4 3111 EUR

so:
AUDYA 4 costs MORE than 2x the XD3 and about 2x the SD3

AUDYA5 (which is the "equivalent" of SD5)
costs MORE than 2x the SD5

questions:
are the AUDYA4/5 twice as good as their predecessors ???

is Ketron outpricing themselves from their competition?

so it seems my AUDYA4 will cost over $4,000

wow, that it crazy expensive for a module !!!

Diki,
not making excuses,
just stating the facts !!!

Leezone haven't we been here before, about a year back, I think you are making excuses or you wouldn't have said it. " I am not trying to get at you" usually means you are! Anyway - why do you have to run it by Diki, is he paying for it!

Because if you know Diki
he would say. You're making excuses not to buy

so I'm just stating the facts $4,000. Is way way expensive.

And Ketron are their worst enemies.
As they are pricing themselves out of the competition
