It's a response to the market, Kobra. With the NIDS starting at $11K and having a 18 month waiting list, there's an obvious demand.

But, things can go awry, you may recall the lukewarm reception the Japanese Parker repros got.
And the foreign supply seems to be divided between clunkers and high priced masterpieces, with little in between.

Still, it'd be nice to have some decent SXSs around...
