Exactly, i bet the Korgs Monome selles better then this.
 
Big analog polys are for a limited public, Amazona even
refers to Uli Behringer as a possible manufacturer but
Uli said once in a interview that any product selling
less then 10K units are serious bad business for them.
 
10K units would be a wast number of units for a small firm
like DSI, Moog but selling at a price 1000-1500euro would
be a disaster for them. Why make a poly that's cheaper then
the Voyager! 

And how many would regard a analog poly made by Beringer
as an quality item? This is a problematic question
marketing wise!
