Are you sure? The desktop was ?1049 wasn't it? I can't see the Indy2 being only ?120 more??
Hi Ben,

The desktop Virus C was (originally) ?970 RRP. Turnkey (UK distributor) used their discretion and latterly raised it by 80 quid or so when the Virus continued to increase in popularity.

I was slightly wrong in that the RRP of the Indigo2 was ?1199.99, but the full advertised street price was never above ?1169.99. Actually, I think the street price of the Indigo 2 was originally ?1149.99, but again Turnkey latterly raised it to ?1169.99.

However, the street price of the Polar is the full ?1499.99. (?330 difference).

Am not moaning as such - it's still a great synth for the dosh, and worthy of a slight increase in price - just I fail somewhat to see the connection of such a particularly large and asymmetrical jump in price from the Indigo2 to the Polar (as opposed to the kC to the 61-note TI), and now the Polar's identical pricing to its bigger brother (the 61-note TI) when compared with the difference between the former Indigo2 and kC respectively. Or smthg.
