One for sale at the moment for $7750US on rgp.

Thanks will have a look, as always getting it here is the problem.....

400 made - 200 stayed in the US, 170 to Europe, the remainder split between Aus, NZ et al.

Since 95% of Stern sales in mainland Europe are to operators (as per Gary Stern), just wait a while and they will start showing up in the Euro container imports to Aus (no Hertz conversion mod required either  ).

Plus you can avoid being gouged on the flavour of the month Stern pricing that is currently going on in the US at the moment.

Did not know the numbers that were shipped out, thanks for that. Like that idea. May talk to a couple of container pin guys about keeping an eye out.

I guess the other question is, are drop targets, a motorised recogniser and coloured EL wire worth a $4000+ price difference? 

I ask myself that very question every day....And with some of the kits out and about for the EL Wire it is getting easier to say 'NO' its not. Will wade the waters for now and see what surfaces... Thanks for the info, much appreciated.
