I agree Doug.
I can also understand why they put the M9 and S2 at the head of the train.
Seems like those were good decisions.
NOW (or soon) another good decision would seem - get the R back on track;
rather than leave a gaping hole in an otherwise beautiful line
of professional, precision, photographic tools.
All those young bucks lusting after the $35K S2
will jump at the chance to get on board with a $7-10K entry level R
until their career takes off.
