The product was designed well before CE went into effect, and needed changes to meet the new requirements. Those changes cost quite a bit and still need to be implemented, so it never really has passed CE. The units you have seen may have already been there when CE started, or the dealer in question may have been less scrupulous than you think. The design changes were all done, I think they just need to be built with the new design. CE totally hosed a lot of small american manufacturers, by the way. Doing the design changes, getting EMI tests, managing the paperwork, etc. was too expensive, so a lot of them had to stop selling in europe. The bigger companies could afford to make the changes and had the sales volume to make it worthwhile; they just bumped the price way up. That's why synths in europe cost way more than in the US now. I'm not really a fan of deregulation, but you guys could have made it a little easier! kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
