Anyone agree that the new Voyager is way over priced ? and that people who want to take a giant step backwards want the model D with a more reasonable price ? These Elitists at Moog Music have their heads on backwards.

Bring back the Model D with a $2k Retail price and maybe you will sell some units.
These Voyagers are not moving, at our store one came in and we had to sell it one year later as a demo, we will not be ordering anymore.

For me the issue was never that it was "overpriced".

I don't think the voyager is over priced.

On another note I do have a polyevolver.
