Hi Andrzej,

I understand your points. *However, another way to look at it is that you
paid either $900 or $1200 for a vario that is now worth $1550. *The $1550
price is still a very good price for a speed-to-fly variometer with
non-IGC-approved logger. *The fee to upgrade it to the top level version is
the difference between $1550 and $2250 ($700) which is similar to the
upgrade costs talked about all along. *If you already own a ClearNav display
there are discounts on the upgrade.

Best Regards,

What a surprise. There are some nice features on the new screens but
the speeds and altitudes are already present in the Club vario. Taking
away features that you guys already sold is not cool. I did not power
up my vario yet but based on the manual on your website when I bought
the vario I expected these features to be there. Now if for some
reasons I decide NOT to upgrade to XC version I am going to be missing
the features I already bought. Another thing that bothers me a little
bit that you specified 3 versions at first and now after some people
bought into it you say no we will only have 2 versions and buy the way
the version that was supposed to cost $1700 in August now costs $2250
since there is no other version, some people may not be very happy
about.

I am also not certain based on your pricing what it will now cost to
upgrade to XC for existing owner of the Display and CNv.

Paul, if this is your point of view I don't want to be your customer.
Paul you are trying to tell folks that because price was raised to
$1550 and they only paid $1200 they should feel good about loosing
features, come on...

The point is very simple features were sold that are now being taken
away. This is very wrong! Regardless if I upgrade or not this is a
terrible business practice and if these features are not back in the
Club version I will NEVER buy another instrument from ClearNav. How
would you feel if after you applied software fix pack on your computer
features disappeared.
