yeah I noticed that.

My problem is I have too many hobbies. I am fully capable of doing my own build but I wanted to see what it would cost to have someone else build it.

Have a read of my 421 build on my website, you will begin to understand that you cant just buy a virgin Athena kit and expect longevity without a tidyup, plugs etc. Hence Wicked is where most of us go as he knows these inside out, but there are others who sell the same product and you might want to check them out, its a fair chunk of change and you should look around and do a bunch of googling for sure.

Indeed Jon, cost is a relative thing, - check out those Swiss G.P. 500 units - for example..
