I think this is a perfect example of "you get what you pay for". DayStar
is able to charge more for their products precisely because people are
willing to pay more. They know the brand name, and what comes with it:
reliability, compatabililty, and support. So why *should* DayStar charge
less; the objective isn't to have the lowest price -- it's to make the
most money.
