There is, of course, the point that from the POV of the speculator, it's 
*much* better news if the older ASPHERICAL gains a reputation as the 
better/sharper of the two models, since this will drive up the price at 
an accelerated rate.

Once it's discontinued, it's like land: it must be a good investment 
because they're not making it any more (though no-doubt the list members 
in The Netherlands would dispute that).
