I will get what I pay for. Like stated before the problem isnt quality it is the time it takes to get to the consumer. Am I happy that it has taken this long, no. But will the power gains and craftsmanship be worth it, yes. Make your own choice. LOL @ the fact that someone actually thinks that there is no gains going from 2" to 2.5" LOL. and what heck is this 2x2 crap?? That's the metality of many on this forum. damn shame......oh wait i forgot im not worthy of posting because i only got 901 hits.
