A 1:1 brushless setup is incredibly expensive! On the order of $20000+. Thats why most of the 1:1 conversions are brushed. Don

Oh no, I accept that - but can you imagine how good it'd be?!?

Everything comes down.
 

Eventually everything comes down in price. Once BL becomes more the norm and readily available the prices will begin to drop just like they do on everything else in the open market. Plus the Chinese will copy cat things like they always do and sell them for a cheaper rate. That is why I said that within the next 5 years or so this technology will begin to show up in kt form that more people will be able to afford. Simple economics.

I remember the first time I saw a 40" plasma TV for sale. It was one of Hugh Heffner's playboy Christmas edition magazine articles in 1977 or 78. It was literally the first one made abvailable to the public and it was a Pioneer model that was listed retail at the time for $22,000. Now 33 years later you can find them for $1,000, and even less if you know where to look.
