Like I said, I would ordinarily agree. I refuse to buy the knock-off resin figures because I know the original artist doesn't see any profit from that, but I don't knock the people that do buy them. It's a free market, and up to the individual how he wants to spend his money. For me, the das mikro works great in RC trucks right out of the box and I don't need the benedini software or anything else from that company. I'm not going to pay $110 for an original to put in a $35 truck when I can do the same job with a $20 clone. After seeing the profit margin, I'm sure that Mr. Benedini is making plenty of money so I don't feel sorry for him at all. I just run my trucks.
