"We announced Helix Native in January. The $300 discount for Helix and Helix Rack owners was announced at the same time. \nThree months later, we announced Helix LT. One of its big \"What's the difference between this and Helix Floor?\" bullet points was the shallower discount on Helix Native; that is, there's a measurable advantage in buying Helix Floor or Helix Rack if you plan on buying Helix Native. Or put another way, with Helix or Helix Rack/Control, you get: \n\nscribble strips \nmore ins and outs \nan extruded aluminum chassis and cast aluminum side panels and treadle \na dedicated headphone volume knob \na $300 discount on Helix Native when it's out \n\nNone of this was obfuscated in the slightest. \n  \nAlso note that plug-in pricing tiers are built into the Helix family business model. Applying the same $300 discount to Helix LT would increase its per-unit cost as a function of blended margin, and therefore, likely mean you would've spent more than $999 on it. So technically, all the other people willing to buy Helix Native got you a discount on your LT, months before it could even be downloaded. Yay for fuzzy math! \n"
