I agree Noel, Hector should be well compensated. However, I get the feeling from my dealings with my Rodgers representative that he is not compensated per sale (I am deducing this, I have not been told.) It is my guess he has paid for the work and possibly a little more for each one sold. I base this on the fact that I asked for the SOL before the purchase of my 577 was complete. I did not threaten to pull the order, but as with a new car (where haggling is expected) I asked for a deep discount on this "option." I got a DEEP discount without too much fuss. Now I may have cost my dealer $500, but with the market so tight and margins so small (again another assumption because there was not much wiggle room in the organ price) I am assuming that the dealer didn't simply eat the loss. I could be wrong though. Again, before you walk away from this wonderful resource because you think you can't afford it, TALK TO YOUR DEALER.
