Any keyboard that costs beyond a few thousand dollars is going to be in a niche market. Over $5K and your market is even smaller. The fact is simple, few people will spend anywhere near $4K let alone over $5K for a keyboard. Just look at the Korg Oasys for example.. it lists for nearly $8,500 and its market is so small less than a few thousand units have been sold worldwide.
Even if Domenik could make the Mediastation lighter he'd probably not sell many (if any) more because most people are cheap and won't spend that kind of money on a keyboard.
I'm curious to know who on Synthzone owns a high end keyboard like the Wersi, Mediastation, or Oasys. I'll bet there aren't more than a handful of us on here who do.
