I hear ya. I chalk it up to market issues. It's big money and I believe these forums are used to sell things. No big deal.

As far as camo goes I have been waiting for what I heard the military has, camo that changes with it environment.

I don't understand why people get all defensive about something unless they either have some thing personal to gain or the company they are defending deserves it ie. great product at a price that has the customer in mind, they really want to help me be better at what I want to do. Not line their pockets, regardless of whether they can demand that price or not. The company treats others as they would like to be treated. I'll beat the drums for them. The company that charges what they can get has gotten all they will from me, a couple bucks and a yes I use it, yes I like it, not much more.
