Today,
hardly anyone buys gear with the intent to open a commercial studio, and
most of the buyers are hobbyists. They don't see money spent on new gear
as an investment, so the gear is designed, built and priced accordingly.

And isn't it great that option is now available.

What's not so great is that for those who care, the other option doesn't
offer such a wide range of choices.

Still seems to be enough choices AFAIC. But now we get good choices at both
ends of the market, and the middle as well. So wish that was the case 30
years ago.


But then, when you're buying top quality gear, it all sounds and works
good and you can (or should) use other things than cost to decide what you
want.

Right.
