Hi Martin,

 However, what makes the R40 a>little bit less valuable than it potentially
could be, is in my eyes the

yes very true

and of course, as you were quick to point out already, the fact that it will no
longer be considered the strongest must have some negative impact on value
you must also consider that ALL Tasc computers will suffer in value if the
Res-Fruit proves to be much stronger

whereas before the R30 v2.5 was the second strongest now it is the third
strongest and so on

for the R30's i think perhaps a reduction in value of close to 50%-75%


my guess will be 10-20% less value for the R40
sadly this will bring its value to between $7500-$10000
sigh..
