Geez. I'm a died-in-the-wool hard-core technic nut, but there's no way I'll
be forking out $370 for an 8458. They're currently going for US$170, which,
even if you include P&H, and the money order, still works out cheaper.
I wonder why they're charging so much more than the 8448? They have about
the equivalent amount of parts. Sure the 8458 has a larger number of body
panels, but that shouldn't justify a $90 price increase. :(
later,
David Drew.
