I suspect when/if we see the Libertas in A, it will be a bit more expensive than the 575A. For the factory to start-up a totally new design that has a smaller market (because it is pitched in A) is expensive, because the new tooling/setup/procedure cost has to be spread out over fewer sales. The Libertas has some extra features and details anyway (e.g. locked key posts) that increase production cost, regardless of the factory setup charges.

I have a Lyrique Libertas and a Lyrique student instrument and planning on buying a 576BC. The 576BC is different, but has some characteristics that are useful for certain types of music. I think it's nice to have several good instruments having different personalities to enhance your musical expression.
