staccato 51 price .. why so high ?

[Guest bassman7755]

Seems that the staccato 51 is selling for about £1000 new vs £650 ish for the rh450. Given that they are supposed to identical from an electric perspective (just different sofware) what gives here ?.

The Staccato isn't the same as the RH amps. The EQ and various parts of the pre amp are different.

I couldn't tell you why it's so much more, though.

Maybe it's Rocco's share of the royalties
