To Each there own, I personally know of 3 friends that have purchased these light from the fisherman, go to the store you will pay between 375 to 400 dollors for the exact same light make and model and serial number... one buddy has had his now for better than a year, and simply loves it, he has a very high client rating, and is in good standing with the bbb. And yes i do buy from all the sponcers, from joels in centerville, to aquatic specitallys in troy, to joe in waynesville, somethimes you just have to use your head.....i spent 100.00 on lights saved 300.00 to spend in the local stores...
