At the small price difference reported ($4), between ELF90 and LF95,
would it not be in the interests of Lahey to drop the price on
the ELF90 version, by say, 25% to ATTRACT new customers?
Or encourage free-copies to upgrade to get a manual and
more features?
From a marketing point of view, the effect of "apparent value"
will have a strong affect on the sales (or absence thereof) when
two prices are similar, but the description indicates one product
offers less facilities or has more limitations.
