Who will buy Astra

[devianet]

I do not understand who will buy the Astra.

Devialet explored the market for this product type very thoroughly since 2011. Defined it, even.

They simultaneously delighted and frustrated their customers. Then left them behind.

So where are they going to find another 7000 people in this market who

1) don't already have their previous, superior product.
2) want to spend much more on an inferior product.
3) are willing to suspend disbelief that the company won't just repeat what they have done with the Expert.
