Tony,

I should have used the nomer "Purchase costs" as was indeed the true subject of my posting.

However, I also think as much was obvious from the context and layout of my post.

Other then that I rather spend money on my own boat and campaign then on somebody elses. Pro-teams should finance themselves by sponsoring or price money and not by higher purchase prices charged to mere mortals like myself.

And of course F18's are build in much larger series, what happened to economy of scale ?
