Ten-Tec Argonaut VI

Despite missing some key bands, all reports are this is a very good QRP radio from Ten-Tec. However at $995 in the USA (similar in £ in the UK with import duty and VAT tax) it is simply too expensive to ever consider.
All I can say is are Ten-Tec in financial trouble? The true market price here in the UK must be less than £700, so they are about £300 adrift in my estimation.
Even in the USA $995 for a rig with no 60m, no 12m and no 6m is way over the top. Just compare with the FT817ND for example. Even the Elecraft KX3 is much better value, in my view.
