I have not found prices that will beat him. I plan to buy from him in
January and its good to hear this testimonial.

That all may be true, but they sure have a bizarre sense for a
website.

Probably just me, but I don't like to have to dig a lot for
information, or have to take another step to find out pricing: I like
to see it right there on the website. They probably do it that way
because the pricing changes all the time, I guess, or they might give
you a different price depending on who you are. No idea really
though, just thought the website strange.

I thought it might be something like that.

Hope he remains in business for a while.
