Interesting replies, some good points to ponder whilst I wait...
LSUAdman appears to know how the advertising end works, I agree, it's a crap-shoot at best, for companies to anticipate the return from ad dollars...and name recognition is paramount import to them, it means more bucks.
( case in point, I hadda have an American made Stratocaster....man did I pay for that name Fender..lol..)
I will search a bit more in this area before I extend the circle to Indy or beyond.
I WILL have one, someday...
'til then, Ime Out...
