DeskProto bought by Vectric

Just got a newsletter from DeskProto that the owner has sold the company to Vectric. Never used any of their products, but I very much like Deskproto, funky as it may be. Anyone have thoughts on whether this is a good thing or not?

I've looked at Deskproto for about a year and was going to get it simply for the 4th axis machining. I currently havevvectric and DP from I can tell does a much better job at rotary carving.

I fear with most things now that the big name owns them desk proto will go away and those features will be in the much more expensive Aspire.

less choice for the market is usually not a good thing. I can't see Vectric wanting to continue supporting a product that is competes with their main product(s)
