---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Stephen, Definitely 2A. And as Doug Knabe said, "2. "Baby Grand" has a very sexy connotation." I don't know why people like saying that, but they do. Billy Joel and Ray Charles even did a duet called "My Baby Grand," or something like it. Back when I was moving pianos full time, I was asked to come and move a lady's "baby grand." Turned out it was a Boesendorfer Imperial (9' 6"). People just automatically pair up the two words "baby" and "grand."

I'll pose a hypothetical question and short circuit reason #1: suppose all grands of a particular famous make sold for the same amount. Would you expect reason #2 to still drive consumers to the smaller grands, and if so is it (a) and (b) that kicks in? or would you expect most consumers to go for the big grands and somehow make them work in their domestic circumstances?
