I think there's a certain assumption that because we are not going to charge 6-8k, it's going to be some cheapo kit. That's certainly not the case - it's just that there's several factors here, such as economy of scale. We are not planning on selling 5-10 kits a year, we are instead planning to make most of the parts on our factory lines in larger amounts. This brings costs down quite a bit. We are not picking wire-reinforced silicone for the piping because it's cheap - it's not, when you are getting it moulded to specific shapes - we are doing it because it works best for this application. Wire reinforced silicone is *tough*, you could stand on it.

See above.
