Alsace 47°52'46"N 7°24'30"E | I think that the name of this game is "How to capture customers"
By announcing newfeatures ahead of time, you keep your customers in an expectative mood and those who would have switched to the competition will say "I've been satisfied with this manufacturer so far, let's see what this new feature is and I'll decide then." On the other hand, you have to keep pace with the competition: when they bring autosteer, you have to offer it too, automated sequence at the end of field? Offer it with a plus!
That is the way manufacturers compete and bring new features to the market, some good, others not accepted by their customership because they cost too much, are to much ahead of their time or for another reason......
