BP,

I'm not trying to get into a pissing contest about prices or quality - the standard AS line is very good. If AS's motivation for decreasing prices was to provide better prices for their customers and not because their pricing in their standard product line is significantly higher than alternatives, they should be commended.

However, after looking at the AS website just now to see how they sell them and the one time I've looked at something from the EHP series in person, I come to ask myself "Why?" Why would someone elect to pay up to 3.5x times as much for gear with the same practical application?

Aside from 'military-grade ballistic material', what are the benefits of buying the $175 'Elite Hunter Pro Series - Double Barrel' as opposed to the $60 'Small 'Tall' Lure Bag'?

*Edit*
I'm not attacking the company or being negative - just a critical consumer *and* happy Aquaskinz product user. But even in a good economy, I don't see the value.
