If we were to judge all things sold in this world based on material cost only, there would be no incentive to be innovative. Crawford obviously is first to market with this product, they deserve all the accolades right now considering no one else has brought anything to market.

Please let this be the last post as it is spot on. Crawford spent the time doing r&d and many of us feel the gains are worth the investment. If you don't agree just wait until a competitor makes one as I am sure it will happen. Until then it is Crawfords market and they can charge what they feel they deserve as it is their product.
