One is well aware of the ability of companies to make spurious distinctions in order to raise their bottom line. Thanks for the clarification, though.
The point one was rather making was that the price difference seems somewhat unjustified to one's untrained eye, especially given the competition (that will be) out there (by the time the annotation update is there).
But one stands corrected. One should not have implied that the price difference was unreasonable, as it is clearly not one's place to suggest such a thing.
One does not have freedom of speech, after all, nor is one allowed to have feelings about things that are not under one's control.
And one is especially not allowed to vent frustrations on user experience forums, because then Shaggy will come swooping down to correct one on some point one recognized quite ably, but deemed wholly irrelevant to the point one was trying to make.


PS. While I'm currently feeling annoyed for entirely different reasons, I'm a bit tired of your lecturing everyone on how we shouldn't think we have the right to expect anything from anyone, especially iRex.
