It's a great bit of kit, of course it is. But there hasn't much innovation to justify the high price tag. If people don't push for innovation, then why should anyone bother to make improvements? If people just accept the price tag and come running with open arms to buy (as some on here have suggested people should), then the price will never decrease. But I've already said I don't believe it will shift in the numbers needed to justify the price tag, so I'll shut up on it now.

Jeez, £500 - I'll bet there isn't a massive queue for that

You are clearly proud of what your company does, but if you don't want to discuss other than just spouting the company line time and time over then there isn't much point continuing the discussion, so I'll leave it there for now.
