I think Arran pretty much summed it up for me. If you really like the set, I could see paying up to $100. $200? Naah, I would pass and wait for a better one at a lower price.

In fact, if you wait for Radiofest in August, you might find a better one there at 1/4 the price of this one. I do not know if there are any radio clubs in Wisconsin.
