This uses infinitesimal R+D resources. Think gold bodies with ostrich leather in wooden boxes The other uses totally new body castings, added or subtracted features to the HW/SW. This is like a new development, requiring much work of resources. Think M9P, M Edition 60, etc. made in small quantities, 99.99% of us never get a chance to use these new or revised cameras. Maybe, in this population, we would rather the resources spent in developing new, more useful gadgets in our M for all of us rather than the pimped out version or those with limited availability.
