And still, their internals numbers might show this is well within the margins. I have no idea. I just don't think it was a smart thing to do from a business perspective. :shrug:

They are over 15K now. Couldn't any of the tiers be considered "artificial"? Sure its expensive but most people would've paid the money as you would've admittedly done without the add-ons so everything is a bonus. If anything producing another head to get a push to 16K is a smart business move. More money IS smart business.
