Well, yes, of course there is demand, it's more a question of if they think they can sell enough more of the lites to offset the difference. My opinion is that they probably would, but they may not agree... they also might just be waiting until the demand drops off some before they introduce a lite... afterall, if they're selling everything they can build at this point, it doesn't make much sense from their point of view to sell them cheaper.
