Anyway, I've got one so will be in a position to do a field test side by side against the Stella in a fortnight's time. No better way of doing a comparison.

Will you be testing it for popping Brandon?

Mark Harris:
What's the price comparison like in Australia guys?
Peter Childs:
Mark
I hear retail for the 5000 is $1299 AU. I note Motackle has them listed for $1249, they also list a Stella SW 10000 for $999 - if that's an indication of where retail is at!
Mark Harris:
Whoa! That's a huge price difference. Madness!
Cheers Peter.
When I bought a Dogfight instead of a second SW18000, a key factor was it being a fair bit cheaper than the Stella option. That now seems to be reversing or have Saltigas always been especially expensive in Australia?
Peter Childs:
Mark,
I think Shimano had a major price reduction about 8 - 12 months ago on the high end ranges. Saltigas have stayed about the same, but the new model is significantly more expensive than the old one! Ithink they are going to have some stiff competition, can't imagine they will be able to sustain those retail prices.
