Thanks for the responses to my question. However, basically the only answer
has been mass production. Sorry, this simply won't fly. How can you have
a vehicle that costs 1/5 of the price of 1 of its components. Mass
production may
lower the prices, but I can't believe it could do that much. It's like
buying a 30,000 dollar car, deciding that the engine won't cut it, and then
being told that it will
cost you another 150,000 dollars to get a new engine. The difference in
price is
just too much.

So, I guess the answer is: It doesn't make any sense. That's just the way
it is.

Thanks anyway. Maybe the RBB II will shed some light on the problem.
