Market share is one way to go. As said, maybe SAI wants to raise the brand's exclusivity, maybe they see a market share drop, but an increase in profit margin may more than offset the loss of market share.
Some consumers vote with their pocketbook and make a bang-for-the-buck value-based decision, others don't care one way or another and they pay the piper for the "geniune" article.
Maybe they're raising the price becaase they're just plain running out of CSX numbers in the four figures and don't want to make a CSX 10,000.
