It has been quite amusing to track the swing of the opinion comments on Pinside about ST over the last 3 months or so.

You can't stop cream from rising to the top! Even if it doesn't have an LCD screen and costs more than some enthusiasts can afford!

Hey Manic, no need to get personal!

And aren't you the one who is making it about price?
You say the question is if Stern is justified asking for the highest price ever on an LE?
So yourself assert it is about price!

By the way, Stern don't need to justify their pricing. They are in business to make profits. If they thought they could raise prices another $2,000, and still sell as many machines, they would. That's capitalism for you. No justification, or permission from people who can't afford them, is needed.

Yes, you're probably right! We'll know pretty soon.

I'm not reading much criticism of the ST LE on Pinside lately.

The critics seemed to have lost their voice!
Anyone else notice?

Any speculation on what they will do to sales?

Commendable comment and attitude!

Both Pro and LE are terrific.

Let those who can afford a LE enjoy their toy without price enviers spoiling their party, and let Pro afforders also be happy with their toy!

As for Premium customers ... be happy too!
