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?
