First, let's clarify that NOBODY except Stern and their accountants probably knows what the actual costs of old and new system is. It could well be the new system is MORE expensive - we don't know and I doubt we will EVER find out.
Second, the development costs for any new system like this are astronomical (ask me how I know
) and will have to be recouped from, yes, THE CUSTOMER!
Third, if you are reading this crap on Pinside take ANYTHING you read there with a grain of salt. They are fast to gossip and bitch and tear down anything that anyone says but very slow to respond to a cry for assistance from a genuine hobbyist wanting help with a problem.
We are very lucky to have properly moderated sites here in Australia (AP & AA)
