> The analogy I use is to the CPUs in your printer: 

But the economics are rather different, surely? Printers are manufactured by
the million. For more specialized functions, you have a much lower volume
and therefore a higher unit cost and therefore you need a much more
compelling story in terms of user benefits. Unless you're selling it like
perfume: it's expensive so it must be good.
