In about 1980 Bill Gates said that you would never need more than 540K of RAM in a computer, and in the late 80's he said that the internet would be a "fad" that would disappear. People also said the same about Rap music. Well as these examples show the future always holds something unexpected and unpredictable. 4 years ago who would have thought that you could get a good NEW turbine for $1595 ? Better yet, 10 years ago who would have thought that you could get high quality ARF's (about as good as you could build yourself or better) for the same price as you could build a kit for? ... Just food for thought, I think it would be a natural evolution for the price of turbines to go down, to a certain extent we are still in the infancy of the turbine section of our hobby, it can only get better from here.
Just my 2 cents
