Profit-wise, that's probably right (especially if people are listening on $5 plastic mechanisms crammed into a $99 decorative suitcase), but I'm now pretty careful to check the reviews on Discogs before I pick up a new pressing. Nothing worse than throwing on a beautifully packaged record to hear a muddy, poorly mastered mess. It doesn't cost all that much more to make sure the pressing sounds good when played on good equipment.
