What are those classes and do we need all three? If this is for mostly sentimental reason, would dropping to one class for 900€ not suuffice? Any extra funds could be used to purchase the TM in China, for example, to prevent the flood of szopin's Maemo-branded rubber ducks.

It may not be so important for commercial reasons, as you correctly point out, but it is more than just sentiment.
