One statement will definitely correct.
It makes complete sense to me. He is describing two types of Python owners: the serious collectors for who the new one is not an acceptable substitute, and those who wanted an old one and would have "gone the distance" to get one, but now don't have to because they find the new Python to be a cheaper, acceptable substitute.

I'm a member of the first group. There is a third group, of course - guys in the first group who will add a new Python to their gun safe.
