My perception... I believe you are correct to a certain extent. I believe they will have a 'top of the line' gun and I also think they might come with a 'middle of the line' gun that will be somewhat competive, but in all they will offer American made steel and American made parts - which right off the bat costs them more money than an import.
The other end of the equation is what is the company really looking for... I think they might be just looking for a share of the market on this first go around under new ownership. I am not thinking they are going to try to capture the largest share of the market.
I believe they might offer quality first then quanity. I believe they also will be realistic about the numbers they sell in 2011.
One other point that I would like to throw out - the people at the corporate level of PI are very successful and have diversified into many different markets and products... They have made a living spending money wisely.
