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.

I really like my Traveler Ver.1 as it combines a unique set of features that make it a star performer in it price class. 10.5 in arm, on the fly VTA, heavy enough chasis, ultra low W & F, and a real AC motor. I like simple. 

This was a used table and when I needed assistance ordering a part that I misplaced (fell into trash unnoticed) I was treated like a red headed step child. It took 10 weeks to obtain the part. This alone will keep me from buying a NEW table from them. Maybe another used one, but I doubt it. Whenever you called them it was mass confusion, you had to start from the beginning every time with your issue. Which really was their issue.
