If you need the information and customer support, it is well worth the price you paid. For the rest of us that hate paying high prices, there are options like sonicelectronix.com where prices are low, but we don't need to learn anything. I'll admit that I get the crutchfield catalog and have ordered from them in the past, but only on a random sale occasion - the rest of the time I just roll my eyes at their prices and ask myself "who would pay this much?"...oh well, to each their own, you are a happy customer and that is all that matters!!
