It was probably a cost-effective decision, as i already said earlier.
Marketing wise it was a bad decision, because i am sure, if they
would have given it a different (better, less CSxX)case and instead
of 8, 16 knobs, they STILL would sell it. But so, people
underestimated it very much and thought and some still do, that it is
because of the plastic outside also sounds plastic, a toy, which it
is not all. I remember the german Keyboards rated it much higher than
the JP8000...

Maybe the first ones were metal?
