Yeah, expensive things aren't they.  So far, at least, they're 
kind of like computers; the price doesn't really drop over time as 
there is always new improvements that make you want the latest 
products.  I only own one large lipoly pack but it's doing okay 
for me for now.  I'm hoping the competition will start to drive 
prices down a little by spring.
