I agree with that statement; they do need to lower their price eventually. However, i'm sure initially, in order to recoup R&D costs, the cost will stay high. As more and more kits are produced, the price of the kit will gradually be lowered to meet a larger demand pool. For example, i'm sure we can all agree that Evolve and Gintani have a smaller pool of customers who paid a premium for their kit. Vf is next up with a good handful more kits than those gintani and evolve kits out there, thus the slightly lower price point. And we all can agree that ESS, which has the most kits out there, has by far the lowest price point. If Harrop, or any company for that matter, follows that model (as long as the demand is there), then i'm sure the price will drop eventually as more and more kits are sold. It's hard to start out initially at a low price point from the get-go and recoup costs.
