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. 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.





If you are in a position to where the depreciation is 1:1 with money
you would otherwise have used for taxes, then the gear isn't expensive -
it's essentially free ( ignoring any finance cost, which should also
be tax deductible ).

Short of that, it's your bucks so use them wisely.
