nothing could be further from the truth. When you buy a header that two copies is made of, you can split the R & D cost by half, and so on untill you've sold thousands of them as DC has. History has proven mass production, as a general statement to be much more cost effective. If it is cheaper you can either save money, or get more bang for your buck, either way, you'd be better off getting a name brand one. I like DC.
