People who are on a budget do what I do.  Shop for bargains and stay away from 
brass.  What you are saying is purely academic and has no practical value.  If 
you want to see cheaper products, either work hard to get more people into S so 
there's a bigger market, start your own company, or see if you can get the 
government to subsidise it with another stimulous package.  Talking down S and 
proving that everyone is getting ripped off is not going to get you cheaper 
products.
 
I still follow what's going on in O and see your work often.  So just out of 
curiosity, what's the attraction in S for you?  It can't be the cost because 
you know very well about the cost differential without the ebay search.  I'll 
tell you one thing, it will be a long time before you see a $135 resin flat kit 
in S like the Mullet River offerings.  And they're not the only ones.  Qaulity 
S kits are far cheaper than quality O kits.  That's what we should be focusing 
on.
