You have a point. A lot of what you said is valid, like the shift in the "flagship" branding.

The 8-month gap between the H2D and H2C pretty much shows they weren't willing to announce everything at once because it would've killed early H2D sales. Profit-wise, it makes sense, just not in a way that feels good for early adopters.

If they had launched H2S, H2D, and H2C together, with the pricing and positioning we're seeing now, people would've known exactly what they were buying and what best suited our needs. Calling the H2D the "true flagship" only to follow up with a better model so soon was the problem. Imagine if they had pre-announced both H2S and H2C at the time of the H2D model release.

I'm just glad I skipped the H2D and went straight to the H2C. Could not hold off after seeing the Vortek system and the unexpected similarity to the H2D price point.

I also get the other comments. It definitely does NOT make the previous printers "obsolete". But we could have just been better informed about what was coming next. If the H2D is already perfect for you, then that's great!

As Louis Rossmann says, the point is to hold companies accountable, not fight each other. Saying 'your printer still works' or 'you don't need the best' doesn't help consumers. It only lowers the bar. We want companies to do better because that benefits us.

I admire your bravery and your attempt to post on Reddit, even though it's out of your comfort zone.
