@czarivey You nailed it. Luxury items are a leading indicator. I wonder how many people cut back on their Star Bucks purchases or is it what the hell do I care this is my treat to myself.
@cleeds You nailed it as well with "so I'm actually considering buying a new Ref 6SE, in part because I believe it will be serviceable regardless of ARC's future".
And yes I have a bunch of ARC gear, the latest of which is a REF6 earlier this year bought used.
