Is Stern trying to keep the price of Pro models down, and expecting them to be location only pins?  Thought from a earnings perspective it makes sense, there is an impact or resale value, but if a machine is operated for 10 years, resale would not be an issue. 

Is the Pro an attempt to remain cost competitive with a soon to be released Homepin (Hankin?) machines?


...I'm really curious to see what Sterns next machine is like, to see if they again release a very cut down Pro.
