It's still a ridiculous price, at those $999. Getting one of those into Germany, even more expensive. Buying it based upon these arguments means I'd totaly disregard the price, to the effect that they could be selling it at $2000 a piece, it wouldn't make it considerably worse than it already is.
It's a kind of "they won this" feeling if I'd give in to the urge to own one of those now. As in, they're trying to rip me off, and I fell for it, when I bought it (no offense, to each their own opinion!). As in, if I buy this now, I'm probably as stupid as to have bought it for $2000, and that just bothers me. If you know what I mean...
I think building one of those yourself isn't too difficult, though it surely costs a lot of time. Though just keeping that thought comforts me sufficiently so I don't feel coerced to purchase this for a grand.
