It's worth pointing something out here- I've been a manufacturer of various things in the past, and I can say a lot depends on how people are set up.

When a manufacturer sets a price for something he will be bearing in mind the cost of the raw materials, the running costs of the business, and much time it takes to carry out the work, and how much money he wants/needs for that time.

So if 2 products from different manufacturers are the same (as far as the customer in concerned) but the prices are different, it may well be that there is a difference in one of the factors above. For instance it may be that one of them has a quicker machine, or lower rent, or is able to get the material cheaper, or has had a lot of practice (this can make a huge difference).

My point is that you can't judge the quality of something by the price, there's more to it than that.
