It just seems, in the performance for dollar arena, if I have $3000
to spend, why would I buy the Sienna over the Ten-Tec Orion?
Because:
- you can work on a Sienna
- Sienna has some features Orion doesn't
- some folks with enough $$ will have *both* rigs...
Or even
two K2/100s w/ KAT100s, if I want the whole build-it experience?
Because they're not the same. And it may not be about
performance-per-dollar
as much as about performance-no-matter-what-the-cost
It's hard to perceive what niche the Sienna is targeting.
Agreed. It's definitely not the same niche as the K2, seeing as how a
fully-loaded K2-100 is about half the price of a barebones Sienna.
Another thought: If a ham homebrews a rig, the entire cost is on him/her.
But
if a ham homebrews a rig and offers copies of it as a kit, which is the
product of a small business, a lot of the cost can be transferred to the
business
as an expense. Someone who is enterprising enough to design a rig like the
Sienna (or the K2....) could have the enterprise to make it a business.
And we all win.
