$299 ..... and people are selling real ones for $1400-plus.  Part of me =
thinks that vintage prices will crash... but if you look at the electric =
guitar world it maybe tells a different story.  When far eastern copies =
started appearing at 1/5 of the price (or 1/10th) and then Fender etc =
started doing look-alike 'relic' re-issues, it didn't do much to lower =
the price of the real old original stuff.
And Uli's copies aren't visually the same either, unlike many of the =
guitars.
So all-in-all it's probably the best of both worlds - originals to =
cherish & keep at home & record with, Ulis to buy and gig with.
(and of course there's the added bonus that using the Uli copies, having =
useful things like patch points, MIDI etc., isn't going to wreck the =
originals' er... originality.)
And in the long run, people who use the copies will one day, if they get =
to a stage when they can afford it, often want an original.

 From the desk of Uli Behringer:


Here is a quick update.

We have just approved the final pre-production sample and are now=20
gearing up for mass production. As you will notice, we have added quite=20
a few more patch points as well as other features.

I am quite excited about this synth as it turned out really well :-)

We're targeting a MAP price of US$ 299.
