Why are the 2 new ones $10 cheaper than the original?

To sell more. It's a marketing and promotional technique.

I don't think sweetwater will have stock until Jan/Feb as that's when I was told to expect it from my sales rep. That's right I'll have all four monoT's. If I play them together, then it's kind of like having a polytron

Some reasons probably are ....

The tooling is done for the casing and knobs from the previous monotron (would save easily upwards of $200,000)

Different cheaper blister pack packaging

They have sales figures to base projections of sales on from the first montron ( it was a hit !!! )

i was excited to see that they were announced, i just wish the "buy now" option wasnt available so soon, now im stuck with this anticipation.

So let me ask everyone....

Which one are you getting first? Or are you ordering both?

I'm leaning towards the delay, because of its usefulness for effects.

Well I'm getting both, specifically to hookup the duo to the delay (the duo sounds like an awesome little lead synth).
