Having owned one for almost 3 years, I would have to agree with you sir!
But that price tag is a bit on the ridiculous side, right? As much as I liked the VII, if I was going to spend $2200, I'd be inclined to go all-in on a G/3.
I don't even know what a new GS3 goes for. A buddy near me is trying to sell his for $3900, and supposedly that's a good price.
There's a lot of machines in the $1800-2200 range, and that is a lot of money. But they keep making them and selling them, so I guess the thing about a fool and his money is true.
