HI's stuff is sometimes, often, in fact, both artistic and functional. I saw the images of the work from Angelswords, and it was very fine. Is is so fine as to deserve a price tag of 3000 dollars? Not to me. It is not 30 times better than HI, but instead well over that statisical anomally where one pays through the nose for tiny increments of improvement. This happens in everything; autos, stereos, firearms. I once saw a pair of speakers for 100,000 dollars. I'm sure they are better than my 1600 dollar set, but probably 1 or 3 or 5 percent. Maybe they were even 10% better; just not 98 thousand more dollars worth.
You can't look at the recent night shift offerings and say Angelsword is 30 times better. Well, I can't. I would have liked to have seen a pict of the khuk they made.
