And this animosity towards people with money, why? I gather none of the neigh sayers here buy artwork. How could you? The cost of the paint that goes on the canvas is what, $100.00? And then spending 100K on a painting? Craziness.

What are you paying for? The Black box? The handful of components in it? Nope, you are paying for the creativity and design skill of Nelson Pass. Never heard a SIT 3, want to badly and suspect I would like it. The whole, when done properly, is far greater than the sum of its parts. Hence my earlier comment regarding artwork. Material costs in a painting? Nominal. Perceived value? Sometimes, astronomical. How many in this thread have actually heard the 39K pretty black box?
