2008 Waroos

[BigR]

I'd really like to try the SB3. It has been a while since I've given any Cab kite a fair shot. I guess I've been avoiding it because if they were really a lot better I still don't think I coud pry the money out of my wallet

Yeah, I'd like to try one too, but I can't seem to let go of the XBow III's.

Also, I think this low priced thing vs. high priced thing is a myth. Once you make a fair comparison, i.e. price both size kites with bars with single pump inflation systems, I calculated the cabby's are only $100 maybe $150 more esp. since you can negotiate the price on cabby's but not the others.

I think you did your math wrong.

08 Waroo quiver (15M, 11M, 9M + bar and lines (who needs 3 bars): $2696.00 + tax
08 SBIII quiver (16M,12M,8M): $4817.00 + tax

5154.00 SB3s after tax
2884.00 WAROOs after tax
======
2270.00 less expensive quiver.

Not a fair comparison at all...........


The waroos do not come with bars in your example and they also do not come with one pump system

lets be fair.

'08 Nemi e-z pump 12m + bar/ lines = $1398
'08 Switchblade III 12m + bar/ lines = $1579
difference = $181

you can't compare waroos with no bar/lines or no e-z pump to switchblades complete with bar/ lines.


those prices are straight from manufacturer website.

No, I included one bar and one set of lines. I do not need THREE bars for a quiver. Also, I don't like Hp's,and I hate one pump it sucks so I'd like to have the option to leave it out.

12M SB3+BAR: 1579
13M WAROO+BAR: 1148
=============
1579
1148

$431 cheaper (before taxes) and it's one size bigger. Buy it without the bar and save another $300 for a total of $731.

$731 is a lot of money in my book.

youre not going to win this one raul

i think you are both correct..

obviously if you are talking a one-pump vs a non-one pump its apples and oranges

think the HP vs SB is the "better" comparison..

Tho, I am with Tom in regards to what I want with a kite and when I see a price for a Cab or a SS it kinda freaks me out. I just bought 2 new kites (kite only, no bar) for less than 1 SB complete.

Its all about what you want in a kite and what your budget is.

also..I could have bought 4 used 2007 waroos for the price i paid for 2 new.

HP has Cuben fiber. That stuff is expensive.
This money argument isn't worth it, imo.

LOL!!!!!!


if thats the way you wanna play it then the true calculations are:

$1180 for the SBIII without bar
but since I hate single point inflation system subtract another $250
( since I can use my current bar and have no need for one pump )


price SBIII = $930 w/o bar or single point inflation
price waroo = $731


LOL!!!!!!!!!!

Where can I order an SB3 without bar and one pump? Is that possible? You are still $200 over lol! Do some "new age" math! If $200 is missing from your wallet was it ever really there?

I'm really just playing with Raul... we are good friends. I just had to play when he said $150 difference.

apples to oranges........
