Okay, then why didn't they put monochrome composite into the A2000 - the pro-level machine in that year's lineup?
The A500 and the A2000 were designed and build two totally separate teams, they probably didn't even know about each other. The A500 team were looking to cost reduce as much as possible and as Zac had already pointed out, with the video hybrid in the A500 you get monochrome Composite for free, so I guess they just added it as better than nothing
