I don't disagree on Em's OM. And I'll go further and add that there are some instruments where 70% is optimistic. One is, as you noted, a ubiquitous factory-made, entry-level instrument. Another is a flattop where, with rare exceptions, we often see well maintained used instruments offered for about half of new pricing. It's a great opportunity for buyers, rough for sellers.
