Digi wants to keep LE and HD users in 2 very distinct categories. If they had a 003 with 8 pres and 16 channels of lightpipe, they would lose HD customers because more people would buy the 003 rather than pay big $$ for HD.

Digi does what is good for themselves, not their customers, (just like most businesses). They are a leader in DAWs because of pro tools, and people will buy whatever they put out, because they want pro tools.
Excuse me, but HELLO, YES! the move from the 001 to the 002 was huge.... remember... the 001 was PCI!

I think you're right on base with the rest... Digi is desperate to protect their expensive HD systems.
