Judging by the responses of other net-ers, wouldn't it seem logical
for Supra to lower the price of the upgrade so that many 
*previously happy* customers would *remain happy* and continue
to have faith and trust in a company that seems to make quality
products at decent prices? 

Supra:
Do you look at any long-term effects of your decisions?

Sure, $40 might very well be a fair amount to charge for what you
put into the upgrade, but is it fair for the *customer* to pay $40
for features that other Supra 2400 owners inherently have?

How about opening up an option that the customer install the set,
thereby eliminating the 1/2 behind-the-bench work?
That just might bring the price into an area where *many more*
customers might invest in it.

Or, how about not making a *profit* off of an upgrade!
(I have no proof that Supra is profitting from this, but 
from the way the post by "Kenny" sounded {"the $40 upgrade
isn't really that unreasonable"}, it sounds like he's trying
to justify the charge, which wouldn't be necessary if they 
were selling it at cost.) 

So, there are a few pointers, even if they weren't needed.

And, by the way- if it was $20, I would invest.
