Business is business and profits are king - Supply and demand. If I were a 6th gen owner and planned to mod, I’d be stocking up or, start modding while the 6th gen is still viable.

FWIW, I wanted a ‘spare’ unit from Hurst. I, however, do understand the business reasons since they were ‘bought out’. Sucks, but the way it is. 5th gen is not as relevant - which is why I stocked up on a few hard to get items...

How is the 5th gen not relavant? There are a half a million out there. Because they are not making the conp stick, has nothing to do with genration relevancy. This is a niche item for a small group of buyers. Manufactures are still producing as many parts for the 5th aa they are the 6th, and will most likely make more margin on the 5th.
