Not many I know listen to classical music on their iPods, but there may be a
few I guess. Obviously not enough to make producing such recordings
profitable, or it would be more common.

It's not so much about cost as available source material and viewing
convenience. People would pay *FAR* more than $200 IF they really thought
they wanted it. I know I sure would!
But since there is little to watch, and I can't see the need, I'm not
looking to buy at any price. Neither are any of my friends. Of course IF a
major technology improvement occurs, AND source material is widely produced,
that would change.
I won't hold my breathe just yet.
