the indigo/polar is a different story - i don't think the key quality is a big deciding factor for people who purchase those. i think they're more seduced by the size and coolness factor.

In that case the Polar should cost less to buy if the quality suffers comparatively. The old Indigos used to be, what was it, around 300 pounds less than the kB/kC versions? At the moment the Polars seem like a small ripoff. The Polar does have a mainly metal fascia, but the other TI's have walnut/mahogany wooden cheeks with the substantially better key-action, and a larger metal body/chassis surface area.
BTW, I was after a Polar due to its portability factor, but it's a steep ?300 incline from the desktop TI to the Polar (the difference being the colour, the synth-action keys, and the mod wheels), which puts me off. For that price, I think the majority of people would go for the TI 61-note if they have the space to house one....
... Indeed, early results show this:

I think the Polar should cost ?150 or so less than the 61-noter.
