I myself like a good quality kit, but what has got to taken into account is what was said earlier.
I like the way that Dan is moving regarding his stock of good quality affordable kits. Hopefully the kits he has in stock today are moving out of the door at a nice steady pace. This is helping him put more investment into his business. If he invests in kits the Joe Public can't really afford what happens? He can't just write them off. Would the investments stop? Me personally would buy a few high ends kits once, but my biggest buys would be the reasonably priced Omega's and Epsilons etc ..
