Death of the milled putter?

Good find, but in contrast to others I thought it was a daft article by a journalist who seemingly couldn't think of anything better to write about. Yes milled are more expensive. Yes, when times are hard people will find it harder to justify the cost of a milled putter over an insert. But no, that doesn't mean milled putters are suddenly useless and that "milled is dead". It took about half the article for the writer to even mention Cameron, surely a major player at the top end of the market? and his argument that Titleist aren't into milled because they don't advertise it as the number one in golf like they do the Pro V1 is weak.
As a side issue I like my milled putter face, I love the feel, but if an insert got it into the hole better I would use that any day. Now, I am sure I read somewhere only last week that inserts felt "dead"... or was that another writer desperately waiting for the Masters to come around?
