I don't agree with this statment at all. The market for those backs is too 
small to warrant lower pricing. No one is getting gouged. They are just trying 
to earn a living.

Outrageous?  The early Kodak and N2000 with noise, low quality and the
weight of encyclopedia were outrageous at $15,000. And, that was $15,000
when it less inflated.

Pro tools are pro tools. Sometimes amateurs complain because they can't
afford the stuff; pros just grumble a little but buy what they need.
