I don't really care what BVM's prices are, the bottom line for me is, either I want the airplane or I don't. If I want it bad enough I'll get it. I have a Super Composite Bandit and a Kingcat.
I will however say, that for what it cost, I was never so disappointed in the parts fit of a kit as I was with the Super Bandit. The fact that right in the manual it tells you that when the wing and stab are fitted correctly there will be a gap at the bottom of about 1/8" and it needs to be filled with body filler was lame. It wouldn't have taken any longer to make the angles on the plug correct for the mold than it did to make them wrong. All the chinese jets I've built fit properly at the wing/fuse joint. Even my Kingcat needed filler to fit snug against the booms.
The other part that I was unimpressed with on my bandit was the fit of the formers into the fuse. I ended up cutting new ones as they were all 1/16" - 1/8" to small all the way around. I called BVM and was told to "fill the gap with glue" which wasn't acceptable to me so I cut new pieces that fit correctly. I was shocked at the number of hours that it took to build the Composite Bandit for the money as well, but in the end it's a beautiful jet. I don't regret buying it, but I also don't think I'd ever buy another one for what they cost.

They are very expensive, but as was said before, if the market will keep paying it, the price will stay where it is. I'm not specific to any particular brand, I have my BVM stuff, and I have chinese stuff, bang for the buck I think the Chinese stuff is better in the short term, however, I do appreciate that if I need a part for one of my BVM jets I can get it quicker and chances that they'll be around in another 3 or 4 years is probably better as well than some of the other manufactures.

As always, it is just my opinion and experiences, your mileage may vary.
