Anyway, I'll stop bitching now. I'm stoked people are tuning this thing....I just don't like seeing companies blatantly overcharge for stuff.
The purpose of front loading the cost is to encourage people to continue coming back, now and in the future, for their tuning needs. (well...I've already invested $600...) It's basically the Apple business model. People can either go with it or not.
