$400 is not bad if you want a new unit. however, for those of us that have a
4.7, the cost is only $200. and the core charge is returned as soon as you
return the core.
i wont argue that the F&B pieces are nice, but do they perform 50% better
than a properly reworked piece? not trying to start anything, joint pointing
out alternatives...
