Re: AMERICA LAST!

I would guess that a lot has to do with supply and demand. The U.S. buys a lot more instruments than most other countries, so supplying top line instruments is more difficult, and players also have tended to be more conservative than places like Britain and Holland about trying new things, so demand is probably a bit less in any given location for the same top line instruments. I don't think it's that the makers don't like Americans. I think it has to do with the money, and possibly also the EU's greater scrutiny of the pricing and availability practices of manufacturers and distributers, as Apple and Google continue to discover. London really does seem to have carved out a niche for itself, though, in offering nearly everything at very competitive prices.
