Re: Cyclon sticker shock!

I agree, I think "under £1000", whatever that ultimately ends up being, sounds like a very fair price, when you consider the competition (which is not the Electribes).

If that's out of reach, that's (a) hardly Colin's fault since I doubt he's buying yachts with his earnings, and (b) not the end of the world, since I imagine used P3's will be showing up at more affordable prices as soon as the Cirklon lands.

And I'm eagerly awaiting that landing.
