I was so excited for them to be released in the US, then pretty disappointed when they moved from "really good value" to "pretty darn expensive." The US prices were often ~$800 more than the Euro price converted into dollars. And that's not even accounting for that VAT is included in the Euro prices and you have to add it on top in the US.
It's still not terrible value, but something like the Tyee AL Start no longer looked like such a great deal in comparison to competitors like the Ibis Ripmo AF.
