If it isn't the whole reason,I'm sure it a good part of it.That was quite a buy 3 old versions for 450.00. I'm sure the old version values will increase as the get scarce.My thought TL was foolish dropping the old version. If nothing else they should have kept both models and give their customers a choice.Seems like Coca Cola made that costly mistake some years back.The new Coke is gone and the Original is back.I wouldn't doubt if TL doesn't do the same.Where is Bob Hice when you really need him LOL.
