Yes, Goki, the sins of omission.
It could be argued that it goes a little past a marketing trick when the answer to a direct question is the wrong answer. It is remarkable (and consequential) that the US distributor had the wrong information - and that is awarding the benefit of the doubt.
Wood is the issue. There are many good reasons to use engineered wood and I applaud them all. But the value placed upon wood echoes the human connection to nature. This sort of thing won't matter much to those who don't experience empathy with wood, and I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade -but for those of us who find the most intimate relationship with nature in trees, man-made imitation wood is a cold substitute.

It ought to be interesting to see what divergence in valuation, if any, in the re-sale market opens up between (i) real and faux veneer products, and, (ii) periods of manufacture.
I take the risk of prediction: The collector community is fairly small and is generally wood oriented, and Link era stuff will rise as a result. Current wood-grained sales will tank and resale values drop through the floor - along with Sonor's reputation. The high-end wood veneer kit was their main sales tool.
