What direction is VPI headed?


First let me state that I own a VPI Prime w/perifial ring, SDS, and a couple extra arm wands so I have invested some $ overall, this being my third VPI table, with that said I am a happy VPI customer but here recently have taken a few notes on their constantly coming up with the next iteration of what ever is moving well and I do believe the Prime is one of those. When they came out with the Prime Signature it was hard not to sell and replace with it but I didn't now the Prime Signature Rosewood is gorgeous but at $6,800.00, now when you get to that cost level I started looking used and have seen the prices dropping ridiculously low on a couple of HRX setups with all the extras for  a lot less than that and they still aren't moving. I know there are those that speak of VPIs marketing from time to time but what is going on.

In 20 years no-one is going to buy new turntables ...
Many were saying that 20 years ago, too.

OMG more VPI bashing... what a waste of time! they're a great family company in a complicated market and they're staying afloat while negotiating a generational transition. Yet they still make top notch products and in my experience they're a model of personalized customer service. What more do you want? Of course they're not perfect. But many companies have diversified product lines (I dunno, Apple and Porsche?). Only with VPI does it become evidence of some kind of bad intentions. I don't get it. 

@jollytinker, I didn't read any VPI bashing in my question or in any of the responses, just a question of direction and like I said I am a happy customer, wow I can take bashing like that all day, just calm down take a breath. 
Their products are very favorably marketed. ,.......

jollytinker, Did you ever read or get a reminder from VPI that they have a (set) , cartridge alignment configuration? Not one time in my experience did Micheal Fremer or any one else remark on this issue. A total industry failure! Yet, we are left with the product that was marketed as such. WOW?

Give me a break!

 So even Bill Stevenson remarked about this recently. He had an issue as a  VPI owner and said that VPI offered a fix his TT. What about the rest of us?

What do I want? Well, I want a 40 year old company who advertises itself as "made in the USA" to act like it!

Why am I having to explain this?!  WOW!!
