You can not compare other platforms where there is enough demand to maintain a "rolling" manufacturing process AND up front R&D investment is quickly returned. The fact is these will not have high demand, which almost makes each kit similar to a "one-off", which is horrible for return on investment let alone profits. You guys really need to stop looking other platforms and not considering these production based issues and costs. HPF had already released a price AFAIK, and it seems very reasonable all things considered. That said, if you like the prices of the other platform and can not understand the above then it maybe time to consider that other platform. My $.02.
