N55 will now have, what, four...five...different companies making a catless DP. Lots of collective R&D spent on something already on the market

Unfortunatley, increases in the number of pieces made makes prices go down, multiple mfr's trying to re-coup R&D costs for the same product does not help prices....

Unless their r&d is cheaper causing them to market their product at a lower cost.

Regardless of R&D costs if you're the only one making the product you can charge whatever you want and people will pay. If you take another company and they spend the same, but market the same product at half the cost, they can easily sell twice as many to recoup the losses.

No convenient way to do it. You guys in Chandler are at least an hour away from where I am. Phoenix is too spread out.
