A CNC mill is precisely the right tool for low number production. If you wanted higher numbers, you'd commission a cast (in this day and age, not that big a deal either, oprices have come down enormously). I supect Linn like the fact that milling is considered an expensive process, it gives the product a credibility it would lack as a cast item.
Anyway, since when did price need to have anything to do with cost? I wouldn't be surprised if the SE parts for the LP12 were deliberately priced so that the whole pakage ends up in a price category where Linn thought there were customers which hadn't considered the LP12 before because it was too cheap.
