One has to ask, is this inflation or just a sign of the world situation at the moment?
The other models have all gone up $500. For example I purchased my Esprit 120 for $4,500 its now $4,999. The 100 was $3,500 now $3,999 and the 80 was $2,500 now $2,999.

So around %11 for the smaller models but a whopping %35 for the 150. I wonder why?
