TALONSKY 0 #2 March 23, 2005 Well I would assume part of it is they are made of F111 instead of ZP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrogNog 1 #3 March 23, 2005 Aren't 7-cell canopies usually cheaper than 9-cell canopies, as well? Does the solid, not-custom-order coloring have any effect? -=-=-=-=- Pull. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Travman 6 #4 March 23, 2005 Maybe the development cost that goes into mains? Reserves being a tried and true design are cheaper, whilst new mains come out every so often, so the R&D costs need to be recovered. Thats my first impression anyway, I'm sure others can shed more light on the matter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GravityGirl 0 #5 March 23, 2005 R & D costs. Also the manufacturing costs on reserves are lower. Them make more of a single style at a time reducing man hours. Also the materials cost is less. That's just my personal opinion. I don't make 'em. I just sell 'em! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
