I have no doubt that TT are trying to increase their profit margins. As a publically listed company that is the responsibility the have to their shareholders. But to apply a blanket statement that that is the primary reason that MPs cost what they do today is a stretch, to say the least.
No evidence, just what I think given the way the corporate world works hence the "I think" and "I believe". I thought this was a discussion, not an official inquiry where I have to provide 'evidence' for any comment I say

To me, makes perfect corporate sense for them to minimize manufacturing costs and sell for more if the demand is still willing to pay it.
