Lou,
Well if their plan was like Donny says here marketing hype = more sales.....sounds like it's about to backfire with you and me. In our case and 2 others I know of....we're all considering different boards now that may not be Yamahas.....hmmmm 4 x $3k= $12k less in sales give or take a few bucks.

So what school of marketing did the marketing manager at Yammy actually go to? Someone check his credentials will you. Bad plan duuuuuuude.
