I have no interest in the collectors' models but I'll bet the profit margin
on them is quite good.  All they have to do is swap a few colored bits from
one parts bin to another and wa-la, the collectors fall all over themselves
to pay extra for 'em.  The R&D is essentially zero.

I have yet to see a collectors' model DMR OTOH my homemade de-panda'd SL
(as seen in the Forbes Island Leica stack) looks kewl.
