Steve,

Yes, it would appear you are missing something.  That your comparison is a
"so what".  Why should Leica's expenses have a thing to do with anything?
That's like someone wanting a raise because they have higher expenses than
someone else.  People should get raises/charge more because they earned it,
not because of circumstances that they NEED more money for.
