Total Cost $20/hour....Gee, let's see..... Parts and labor, testing, quality
assurance, finance people, customer support, sales, continued non-recurring
engineering (to correct issues), manufacturing/engineering overhead, etc
(such as economy of scale)........ Total cost could get in the $100+/hour.
So, I think that a manufactured K2 cost could really be out of site if that
is all the company produced and maybe that's why it is in kit form.
Even the kit version cost does not represent the real cost.

K2 cost = $1425 with options comparable to the Orion plus at least 60hrs to
build it it at lets say $20/hr, all equals $2625 and no dual receive.
Getting pretty close to the cost of an Orion that is already built.

By my accounting, when you add up the K2 options, it's mighty expensive
also, even allowing for home brewing.
