As of late, their industrial design has been just beautiful. You want to have it, even if you have no use for it.

People will complain about the price, as per usual, but keep in mind that this is a small company making low volume products for professionals.

With that said, I certainly won't be buying one :)

Most professionals I know will stick to their Sound Devices, Zoom or Cantar.

Yes, I don't doubt that there are more affordable products which offer the same, or (probably) better, quality, for a better price.

Nevertheless, some people just prefer to use products that spark their creativity, however irrational it may be. This can easily turn into a never ending discussion :P

It doesn't matter how good it looks... Not at $1500.

Even people with serious disposable cash had issues withe 'op1 field'. This is a far larger price differential with competing products in the same quality/feature bracket

It's like Apple but for musicians. If you need to care about the price you are likely not the target audience.

Thanks but I will stick with my Zoom field recorder.
