Why are people OVER AND OVER AND OVER again bitching about how way above their budgets these are in terms of a lump sum purchase, when looking at it from a business finance/leasing point of view it's a bargain! It's no different to leasing a £15,000 car for a deposit plus £100 per week which you then swap out after 3 years for a brand new one!! For the income this purchase should generate (if you use it for what it's designed to do), it's a no-brainer!!!
Because cost and value are not the same thing and use cases vary wildly. People have a right to be disappointed when the kind of machine they like now costs three times as much as before.
