That's true and I believe that they wanted to take back the market and
their image.
It's like the Dogde Viper, Porsche 911 Turbo, ... few sales, but important
for the company...
But I fear that they are waiting more than image from those models and
that's where they
might be wrong..

But again, the church market in the US sounds like an incredibly rich
market... I think I'll
move to the US and go to church only to play on a Hammond, have a Motif 8,
a grand piano,
and other goodies... :)
