They're pretty canny tbh, the old models tend to stay cheaper then get discontinued and replaced with a more expensive one, they've repositioned themselves quite a bit without anyone really noticing. My last pair was about 50% more expensive than the first.

Asymetric always seems to make sense but I wonder whether these will be any better in the real world- can't say that it's fixing a noticable deficiency...
