Idunno, I'm pretty sure I'm at least one of their target demographics - casual electronic musician with more money than free time who buys mostly portable gear for no easily justifiable reason whose been bought multiple battery powered mixer solutions and been waiting for a real one for almost a decade - and I still dropped my jaw pretty seriously at the price. Im all for appreciating the engineering challenges you articulately outlined but price points like this just alienates anyone who isn't completely reckless with money. TE has gone in this direction before and my hope is always that it's the first prototype move towards a more available version of the product. Would serious musicians buy this? Would fringe weirdo musicians buy it? Whose left other than wealthy dilettantes? I honestly don't know but I love this company and want to support them. My wife would just (rightly) leave me or put us in marriage counseling if I dropped this much money on this thing. And I really, really (really) want / need ("need") it...
