Im not talking of 2-6 people businesses working from some garage - but real companies with an distribution network. Do you think a well established company with a leading profile in the industry would accuire the CIS Lunar designs and patents and then spend 2 years of development only to start competing on a market where you sell 50 machines per year ? To me its pretty clear that there is an business case in there that says it will create a new market attracting more than the tech freaks and out compete the Inspirations, being the only ones that have been succsessfull so far. Whatever comes out of this will be different to what is out there from an business perspective, or it will be a failure
Btw - Im not buying one - Im going for an Optima Fx Just saying that several times this has been announced, and when production finally happens, the price is up. Dive-Rite tried it, and I consider their organization more than a "garage operation" and they couldn't pull it off.
Don't get me wrong, I certainly hope that they can pull it off, but somehow I don't think a sub $6000 USD (even let alone a sub 5K) will happen.
