Hi Keith,
No, it's because you're not noticing the "3 payments of" in tiny print at
sonicrafter.com! (I.e., it is the same price -- $120-$180 total depending
which kit you're after).
Yeah, these days many brands names are largely meaningless. The same
marketing guys who figure that if a movie did well a sequel is surely worth
making (even if said sequel has completely different writers and producers)
also seem to figure that a well-known brand name once holds value forever.
Just like Lenovo, Commodore computers were around long after the original
company went kaput.
GE (small appliances)? Black and Decker (small appliances)? Quasar?
How about Packard Bell. Now there is a great one! ;-)
Actually I only "hinted" at getting the 10" saw, but my wife "upgraded" me to
the 12" version. I was a little shocked at the price of 12" blades --
after having to replace one I now treat them a little better, to try to get
them to last longer!
That's exactly my take on it. I have decent 10" blades so didn't see
any real advantage of a 12" saw and a lot of negative$.
