Qulaity is always a factor of cost. I've bought some of Brian's stuff when he was clearing it out at less than half price. But that still left me with a rig that cost me about $300 with pouches, instead of the $600+ it would have cost me at retail. I have spent alot of money over the last 2 years just on gear, and no rig I have costs me less than $200, and most were much more. I have no problem spending $500+ on a rig if the quality is there. But I'd be pissed to spend it only to find that they used quality material, but the stitching was shoddy for example.
