$3k upgrade on $55 parts + 1...2 hour labor. I couldn't believe that W4S is capable of that kinda insanity as I've always thought that their products are resonably designed and priced:(

Overpriced Parts + Overpriced Labor = Poor Value.

Check out Vishay revenue for the past years and figures will always take the right place.
Knowing math also helps even without knowing electronics.
