I spoke with Kowa USA rep this morning about the Genesis line. I thought they might be coming out with a new version soon since they are selling the present model at incredible prices. He said no new version is coming out soon although they have been working on a new model for awhile. Sounds like it’s on the back burner for now. The reason for the sale is just to move some inventory before they get new stock for the holidays. The promo ends this Saturday so if you want a super deal, now is the time.
