I asked Down N Locked how much it would be for them to supply a set of Robart retracts converted to electric and they quoted me $550 whereas Robart's version of the same model electric gear is $290. I thought I'd read that Down N Locked were involved with Robart's gear but that's quite a price difference if they are using the same components.

I'm wondering if there is any difference between the 2 versions (or more accurately if the Robart version is as good) and if the 'standard' Robarts are reliable.
