What direction is VPI headed?

First let me state that I own a VPI Prime w/perifial ring, SDS, and a couple extra arm wands so I have invested some $ overall, this being my third VPI table, with that said I am a happy VPI customer but here recently have taken a few notes on their constantly coming up with the next iteration of what ever is moving well and I do believe the Prime is one of those. When they came out with the Prime Signature it was hard not to sell and replace with it but I didn't now the Prime Signature Rosewood is gorgeous but at $6,800.00, now when you get to that cost level I started looking used and have seen the prices dropping ridiculously low on a couple of HRX setups with all the extras for  a lot less than that and they still aren't moving. I know there are those that speak of VPIs marketing from time to time but what is going on.

"   You just need an attention span longer than 5 minutes and someone that can understand what they're looking at. Not loosing the equipment I sent to you for evaluation would have gone a long way as well. "

Bill at Phoenix Engineering is a very nasty person @turntablemat do not let him trouble you he is known for being pompous and argumentative he is a very insulting person! This is why I did not choose to purchase from him and in fact he is now out of business so that should tell you something about him. Mat you we're smart to not do business with this person VPI is in it for the long haul and Bill was not!

" Clearthink, you are entitled to your opinion. If you wish to believe that voluntarily ceasing operations means that an entrepreneur is non-trustworthy or somehow a lesser person-as you clearly state-that's your choice. I don't think most us see things that way "

I based what I said about Bill based on mostly my personal experience with him and to some slightly lesser extent his behavior in this very group which has been deploreable and not the words or actions of a man of honor or anyone I would ever want to conduct business with in any way. There is a reason he is out of business and there is a reason he did not make a deal with VPI and Mat was right to not make a deal with him VPI is a better company than that and treats it's customers well and again I say that based on personal experience.
