Good call...I would have a comfortable chair nearby when you are reading the prices...so when you fall over, you don't get hurt. They are deifnitely expensive, but they are hand made here in the states (MI) and can customize to just about whatever you want. For me, I would get the Brutus Maximus with the tallest seat height, but I'm 6'10" so my seat height preference doesnot mirror many people!
