I'm a VE skeptic (probably because I already have one). Some comments made on a tour aren't that convincing.
They wouldn't want to cannibalize other machine sales at the same price, so the the only way a VE makes sense is if they can charge way more than an existing model.
So if they charge extra for a VE, like the BM66 pricing model, then original prices will still remain high.
They just have 0 incentive to sell ACDC's with a price structure like AFMr. Where with CG, every sale is a new sale.
Either way, I'm enjoying my ACDC today. and I've never had an issue with the lights.
