I think ?1095 would have worked but they obviously want to be seen as a top line manufacturer. I like the riser, bit heavy but par for the course I think. Machining looks cleaner than the Origin. As PSE have announced their Perform-X and Shootdown bows, it will be interesting to see where they are priced, I will probably be looking for a discounted Supra EXT in the near future to replace my brilliant Supra Max.[FONT="][/FONT]Yes, I reckon sub ?1000 (?995 maybe) - the near ?1200 tag seems like it's been given to place it alongside the top end Hoyts/PSEs/etc.
Apparently they are pricing it "too cheaply" at ?1200ish (according to the Mybo guy on FB) but I'm not convinced.
True, many Pros will contract with whichever brand has the biggest marketing/sponsorship budget & offers the most, but would like to believe there are some who won't shift out of loyalty or if the bows don't appeal to them.The Origin price was low in my opinion. Maybe they wanted to create a fanbase and build on it.
I have shot both and have to say the edge suited me first end. Had to hand it back pdq as it was grouping so well.
My mate paid hard cash for his and loves it. If a bow suits you the price will mean nothing over time. British shouldn't mean 2nd grade. Just a low marketing budget .
Pro's will go to whom ever pays ...

From a marketing perspective, probably a bit late for that brand name segmentation move now.They could do what Bowtech/Diamond have done, have two brands, Mybo and Merlin. Reposition the Origin as an intermediate bow with black only colour marketed under one brand name. ( as long as your making a good profit why put the price up?) Go upmarket with the other brand name.
With the economy as it is at the moment, high end bow sales could take a big hit if the interest rates go up any time soon
