Probably not but I guess the gist of my post was that there is no correlation at all between the different parts and the price. When I found out it was going to have the same transport system as the Apollo I figured it would be priced closer to what a Jupiter cost. The bigger power transformer in the saturn cost maybe 20 bucks more and the better capacitors/diodes etc might be another 20 or 30 bucks plus whatever the extra DAC cost. The same inexpensive plastic cd rom drive that is in the Apollo is in the Saturn. R and D was mostly just carried over from the Apollo. I probably wont buy one anytime soon, but maybe it will go lower since the Jupiter started out at 2 grand and dropped to 1750. I probably would get one if it was 2 grand, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
