Seriously, aside from keeping the blimp floating, can anyone explain the significant price delta between the GY and Sumitomo? In side-by-side comparison the GY is only slightly better in most categories, yet cost almost 3x's the Sumi's.

A set F/R of GY is $1278 and a set F/R of Sumi's is $528. I would obviously like to keep GY on my ZR-1, but I am having difficulty justifying the difference in price.

Is this truly a case of, "You get what you pay for."?

Thanks.
