RED says Scarlet will add HDRx capability and $1,000 price increase
...and it will only cause a 'slight' delay

REDuser: Scarlet...

This is another example of RED and its godhead leadership being disingenuous about what's really going on. RED lost the use of a foreign supplier that was in queue to manufacture the majority of the Scarlet, but RED had to move that phase state-side, which costs more. (Rather automatically, they began to trumpet being a pro-US company, despite having intended all this time to outsource.)

The idea that HDRx adds $1,000 (mere intellectual property, amortized across all the units they sell) is ludicrous.

Stated more simply: RED are lying.
