I'm Matt.
A mate of mine has an rp10/apheta2 which is a very nice tt.
Whilst the new one is undoubtedly a chunk of ££, it’s still a fair bit less than offerings from Linn, Avid & a host of others.
I think the issue may be that when you pick an rp10 up, it’s so light, it’s almost disconcerting! I guess “Heavy” sells?
There's an SP10 on PFM going for less than 2 grand - in plinth with arm. When you can pick up bargains like that why would anyone fork out almost 4 large for a belt drive TT like this? But I suppose people do.

Be even nicer when someones hears it action first and then comments !
I heard the Rega P8 over two days at last year's Signals HiFi Audio Show East, and it turned out to be a rather lovely performer, far more engaging than any Rega that I'd heard to date. So, I would not rule this new P10 out for anyone thinking about spending this sort of money. In any case, the new Rega market is not the same as the vintage or DIY market, so the P10 will probably do well, and probably deserves to.

Yes, in the real world, Rega turntables are deservedly popular.
The P8 has been a big seller and I have an advance order from a customer for the P10.

Apparently it’s £30,000.00 for the Rega Naiad.

Can we please stop all the Rega bashing, at least until mine has sold. Ta.
