Another note...
A lot of that money went into aesthetics. They had to have all those
plastic parts custom made. And they probably didn't walk down to their
nearest machine shop and hand-machine the mechanics! Since they had the
money, they probaly had all the parts professionally made (Costly!). So,
don't be scared off just because they spent so much money, we can be
more creative :)
