things have changed and for the better. 4 years ago the "holy grails" were selling for close to $400.00. Today, they don't even compare to the "Holy Grails" available now and prices are pretty close. What's changed the most is the cheaper ($100) reps. They've gotten to the point where they are the equal of yesterday's expensive reps.
The Chinese have taken it too the next step, and I wonder what comes next?
