Alek,
Frankly, this price even lower than I can get from my dealer.I know the
manufacturer's list price,this price only few gross profit.If the manufacturer
return some gain to seller in the end of a year( a tradition of Chinese
manufacturer), the seller will lose money in business.
BTW, a soon as I finshed my band switch project,I;ll let you know.
