Alright, last night, while not sleeping, I decided after going to the Red X Arms site and checking and checking and checking, that I was going to email them and ask the simple question: "How are you guys 100s of dollars less expensive than the other guys?"
This was the response I got back from them today:
I will admit a couple of things: 1) I was looking for any reason NOT to buy from these guys, but at the same time, I was also looking for any reason TO buy from these guys. 2) While I was expecting a response similar to this, the fact that it was AS involved as it was impressed me.
So, the conclusion is, even though I'll be mixing manufacturers, I'm not terribly heartbroken to save a couple hundred dollars and help out a manufacturer who seems to want to do things right. Once I get it ordered and get some seeds down the tube, I will report back with what my findings are. And I guarantee that if it works out how I hope it will, I will be the biggest fan (and probably loudest) of Red X Arms around.
